German Outlets Post New Daily Horoscopes, Pairing Videos With Scientific Caveats

Polling shows strong interest despite research finding astrologers perform no better than chance.

Overview

  • Augsburger Allgemeine published September 3 daily pages for multiple signs that embed a horoscope video updated each day.
  • MOPO posted its Wednesday, September 3, 2025 roundup with brief, sign‑specific guidance for all twelve zodiac signs.
  • The articles underscore that astrology lacks scientific evidence for predicting personality or life events and advise treating horoscopes as entertainment, not decision guides.
  • A Clearer Thinking study led by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti tested 152 astrologers and found an average of 2.49 correct matches out of 12, with none exceeding five.
  • Coverage cites a 2021 YouGov/Statista survey showing about 53% of Germans see a star‑sign–personality link and explains the Forer/Barnum effect as a reason generic statements feel personal.
