German Outlets Roll Out Year-End Horoscopes as Coverage Blends Advice With Skepticism

Augsburger Allgemeine frames the seasonal readings with survey data and studies indicating no proven link between star signs and personality.

Overview

  • BILD published a full week of horoscopes for December 29 to January 4, organized into love and friends, work and finance, and fitness and feeling.
  • TAG24 released a free, all-sign daily horoscope for Monday, December 29.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine offered daily horoscopes and underscored the lack of empirical support for astrology, citing a Clearer Thinking study where astrologers averaged 2.49 correct matches out of 12.
  • The coverage references YouGov’s 2021 findings that roughly half of Germans see a connection between star signs and personality, reflecting sustained public interest.
  • Across outlets, the features are presented as lifestyle content for the New Year period and do not introduce evidence that would change the scientific consensus.
