German Outlets Roll Out Fresh Horoscopes, Some Add Scientific Caveats

Augsburger Allgemeine highlights studies finding no scientific basis for horoscope claims.

Overview

  • BILD publishes week-of January 12–18 forecasts for all signs, repeatedly pointing to potential promotions, financial openings and wellness routines.
  • TAG24 posts free, same-day daily horoscopes for January 15 and publishes an outlook for January 16.
  • DerWesten attributes the day’s romantic shifts to a VenusUranus influence, noting sudden opportunities for Gemini, Taurus and Aquarius.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine pairs daily horoscope videos with context citing the Clearer Thinking study, in which 152 astrologers performed at chance level.
  • The coverage also references YouGov polling showing more than half of Germans see a link between star signs and personality, with horoscopes presented as entertainment rather than decision guides.
