German Outlets Post Free Oct. 7 Horoscopes, Add Videos and Next-Day Preview

Publishers present the horoscopes as entertainment, citing research that finds no predictive accuracy.

Overview

  • TAG24, Augsburger Allgemeine and MOPO published free, sign-specific daily horoscopes for Tuesday, October 7, covering all twelve zodiac signs.
  • TAG24 also released a free Wednesday, October 8 horoscope and invited readers to subscribe to a newsletter for ongoing updates.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine paired its written pages with daily-updated video horoscopes for individual signs focused on themes such as love and career.
  • Articles included clear context on public interest, referencing YouGov and Statista findings that roughly half of Germans see a link or show interest in horoscopes and that some read them regularly.
  • Coverage highlighted scientific skepticism, pointing to Clearer Thinking research by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti showing astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12—consistent with chance—and advised against using horoscopes for major decisions.
