Editors now balance strong audience demand with reminders that studies show astrologers perform no better than chance.

Overview

  • TAG24 released a complete set of free daily horoscopes for all twelve signs and used promotional language about a predetermined destiny, with visuals credited to Midjourney and Unsplash.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine posted sign-specific pages with daily-updated videos and listed the date ranges for each zodiac sign.
  • Multiple articles state there is no scientific basis for predicting personality or future events and advise against using horoscopes for important decisions.
  • Coverage cites YouGov polling reporting that about 53 percent of Germans believe in a link between zodiac signs and personality, with 13 percent reading horoscopes regularly and notable gender differences.
  • Reports reference the Clearer Thinking study led by Spencer Greenberg and AndrĂ© Ferretti, in which 152 astrologers averaged about 2.49 correct matches out of 12 and none exceeded five, consistent with chance.
