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
The conjunction between the Moon and Neptune can make you dreamy, passive, and unbalanced. You are hypersensitive, possibly have a weakened instinctive life and may experience a nervous disorder. You may tell white lies. You are very sensitive and prefer loneliness. It's a good time to write in your journal, or express yourself through poetry or writing lyrics of a song.
This aspect gives you a lot of confidence and energy, which you will bring into the work place. It's especially good for you, if your work deals with the military, or working out and personal fitness. You will be able to find words quickly when expressing yourself, especially around men. Be careful around sharp objects, as you could hurt yourself without realizing it, and the blood may flow fast.
The Virgo Moon makes us analytical and critical. We are productive and health-conscious. These days, work and the fulfillment of duties are in the foreground.
This conjunction makes you progressive, energetic, determined, unconventional, creative, inventive, and intuitive. You ignore traditional views. It is a perfect time to put effort into hi-tech business, whether you own a startup, or you're a programmer, coder or analyst. You'll have original ideas and may meet the weirdest, and most interesting, people on blind dates.
