German Outlets Post Jan. 18 Horoscopes, Highlight Scientific Skepticism

Overview

• TAG24 and Augsburger Allgemeine published free daily forecasts for all zodiac signs for Sunday, January 18, 2026.
• Augsburger pieces embed sign-specific videos that are updated each day to reflect the current date.
• The coverage reiterates that astrology lacks empirical support, citing a Clearer Thinking study in which 152 astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12.
• YouGov polling reported in the articles shows more than half of Germans perceive a link between star sign and personality, with stronger belief among women and broad but often irregular readership.
• Both outlets present horoscopes as entertainment or motivation and advise against using them for major decisions, while noting the zodiac’s Mesopotamian origins and later Greek adoption.
