Birthday
Otto Hahn
Otto Hahn was an outstanding German chemist and pioneer of radiochemistry who made many important scientific discoveries during his life. He was born 8 March 1879 in Frankfurt am Main and grew up in a middle-class family. Hahn studied chemistry and obtained his doctorate in 1901. He worked as an assistant at various universities and research institutes before joining the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry in Berlin in 1906, where he later became director.
Hahn pioneered radiochemistry and made an essential contribution to research into the atomic structure. He discovered the element protactinium in 1909 and the element lutetium in 1917. His most important discovery, however, was that of nuclear fission. Together with his assistant Lise Meitner, he conducted experiments in 1938 that led to the discovery of atomic fission. This discovery is considered one of the most critical milestones in the history of physics and was a breakthrough in nuclear physics.
Otto Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944 for his discovery of nuclear fission, but this was not announced until 1945, after the war's end. In his later years, he was a vehement critic of the military use of nuclear energy and advocated its peaceful use. He died in Göttingen on 28 July 1968.

Daily aspects
It's easy to get irritated and moody. Family disputes can occur every day. You will experience difficulty in finding peace. You will feel confused, as you will not fully be able to think with your head, or feel with your heart. Choosing clothes to wear for the day may be difficult, as you may find it hard deciding on whether you want to wear a more feminine or masculine look.
This transit can cause a lack of inner balance, unreasonable views, and strange habits. However, romantic love affairs could also appear in your life. Don't be surprised if you get unannounced visitors at your house, such as female friends or relatives! You have the potential to gain, or lose, money unexpectadly right now.
Good spiritual gifts are available during this time, but you could misuse them. There may be disillusion when it comes to the truth and the way you think. You could be volatile, act superficially, or act too hastily.
Your feelings are loyal and sincere. During this time, you are thorough and accurate, controlled, persistent, focused, and decent. You may fall for an older and more established person. It is a great time for business dealings, especially those related to art and luxury. If you need a favor from a person with a lot of prestige and wealth, now is the time to ask.
