Overview
- On September 9–10, 2025, Augsburger Allgemeine, MOPO and TAG24 published free daily horoscopes covering all twelve zodiac signs, with several pages offering embedded videos.
- Multiple articles state there is no reliable scientific basis for astrological claims about personality or future events and frame horoscopes chiefly as entertainment or motivation.
- Polling cited from YouGov/Statista reports roughly 53% of Germans see a sign–personality link, about 13% read horoscopes regularly, and belief is higher among women than men.
- A Clearer Thinking experiment led by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti found 152 astrologers matched profiles to signs at chance level, averaging 2.49 correct out of 12 with none above five.
- Styling and tone vary by outlet, with TAG24 using more sensational cosmic-energy language, while others include date-range tables for each sign and add explicit caveats.
