German Outlets Post Today’s Horoscopes as Studies Underscore Lack of Evidence

Today’s horoscope slate sits in tension with research finding astrologers perform no better than chance.

Overview

  • TAG24, MOPO and Augsburger Allgemeine published free daily forecasts for all 12 signs on October 22, with TAG24 also promoting newsletter sign-ups.
  • BILD continued its weeklong series for October 20–26, structuring guidance into themes such as love and friends, work and finances, and fitness and feeling.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine contextualized the features with skepticism, noting no scientific basis for linking birth dates to personality or future outcomes.
  • Coverage recapped the Clearer Thinking study by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti, where 152 astrologers averaged 2.49 correct out of 12 sign matches, consistent with chance.
  • Survey figures cited from YouGov indicate sustained interest in Germany, with over half of respondents expressing belief or engagement, supporting ongoing publisher investment in horoscope content.
