German Outlets Publish Sept. 19–20 Horoscopes Under Skeptical Framing

Publishers label the features as entertainment and cite polling and studies that question astrological claims.

Overview

  • TAG24, MOPO and Augsburger Allgemeine posted free, sign‑by‑sign daily horoscopes for September 19, with TAG24 also releasing next‑day guidance for September 20.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine packaged each sign’s forecast with a daily updated video, and TAG24 and MOPO offered full rundowns for all twelve zodiac signs.
  • DerWesten added weekend features that tie a new moon to romantic boosts for Jungfrau, Waage, Widder, Wassermann and Krebs, plus a separate list warning of a tough weekend for Stier, Zwillinge, Steinbock, Schütze and Fische.
  • Across outlets, articles highlight YouGov/Statista polling showing roughly 53% of Germans see a sign–personality link and about 13% read horoscopes regularly, with higher belief among women.
  • Scientific context is repeatedly emphasized, including the Clearer Thinking test of 152 astrologers averaging about 2.49 correct matches out of 12, references to the Barnum/Forer effect, and citations of GWUP and Skeptical Inquirer.
