German Outlets Publish New Horoscopes With Added Scientific Context

Augsburger Allgemeine highlights studies that challenge astrology's accuracy, with TAG24 and MOPO posting January 21–22 forecasts.

Overview

  • TAG24 and MOPO released sign-by-sign daily horoscopes for January 21 and posted previews for January 22, offering specific guidance across love, work and health.
  • BILD continued its weekly format for January 19–25, organizing advice into sections such as Love & Friends, Work & Finances, and Fitness & Feeling.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine paired its daily sign pages with research context, citing a Clearer Thinking study in which 152 astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12, a rate consistent with chance.
  • The coverage referenced YouGov polling indicating that roughly half of Germans express belief or interest in a link between star signs and personality, with women more likely to ascribe significance.
  • Editors framed horoscopes as entertainment rather than decision-making tools, and TAG24 disclosed image sourcing to Midjourney and 123RF for accompanying visuals.
