In addition, he studied theology and philosophy in Strasbourg. in 1905; he wrote a biography of Johann Sebastian Bach. Since the young, ambitious Schweitzer wanted to work as a missionary but was denied this, he studied medicine (1905-1913) to pursue this activity. At the same time, he received the title of professor in 1912 for his achievements in theology. Animal welfare was always close to Albert Schweitzer's heart. The Albert Schweitzer Foundation campaigns for peaceful animal life and against factory farming.
Quotes from Albert Schweitzer
- To think with the heart is the right way for man.
- Man is ethical only if he regards life as such, that of plants and animals and that of man, as sacred, and if he gives himself helpfully to life in need.
- I have become a person who is somewhat dangerous for others because I represent the thought among them that all happiness we experience means that we must give away something of our lives for it.
- He who undertakes to do good must not expect that people will remove stones from his path because of it but must be prepared for the fateful thing that they will roll some on him.
- Animals cannot speak, yet they think much more than we imagine

Daily aspects
When Venus enters Aquarius, our energy awakes to independence. We tend to be very honest and to resist any limitation. We dislike what's immoral. Above all, we are peace-loving. We are committed to reforms, and therefore we receive recognition from friends. As for the partners who could appear during this time, they should also be eccentric and idealistic.
extile Jupiter (Pisces)
The extile between the Sun and Jupiter is a perfect aspect. It gives you a lot of vitality, success in life, general popularity, and professional and social advancement. You have a strong sense of justice and could be lucky. It is a good time to implement heart-healthy food into your diet, and take on cardio exercise - just don't push it! It is a great time to go on blind dates - just make sure to look really good!
This transit can cause you to feel emotionally violent and aggressive. You may want to lash out, especially if you are female, to anyone who oppresses you, from your husband to your boss. There may be disagreements over joint finances, inheritances, alimony and taxes. If your pet shows any signs of illness, it's best to take it to the vet.
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.
When Mars is in Sagittarius, we develop a passionate temperament. We are enthusiastic speakers and like to deal with philosophy and religion. We love sports and love to travel, build enthusiasm for independence and freedom. We hate all that's trivial and small. We are brave, generous, open, and transparent in negotiations. We develop a strong sense of self and work tirelessly. However, there is also the danger of being arrogant.
