Overview

  • TAG24, Augsburger Allgemeine and MOPO released free daily horoscopes for Friday, September 12, covering love, career and personal wellbeing across all twelve signs.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine articles foreground scientific context, explaining that astrology lacks evidence and describing the Forer/Barnum effect and audience targeting that make broad statements feel personal.
  • Survey data cited from YouGov and quarks.de report roughly 53 percent of Germans express belief or interest, 13 percent read horoscopes regularly and women report higher belief than men.
  • Coverage references the Clearer Thinking study led by Spencer Greenberg and AndrĂ© Ferretti, in which 152 astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12, consistent with chance and with no advantage from experience.
  • Outlets expand formats with daily updated horoscope videos and include advisories to treat the content as entertainment, and TAG24 also posted a preview for Saturday, September 13.
