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
When Mercury is in Aries, we get a sharp and quick mind. We think constructively and focus on real actions. During this time, we act quickly; we are passionate and often violent in discussions.
extile Mars (Aries)
The extile between Venus and Mars makes you passionate, sensual, loving, and frank. Your love for art breaks through, as art inspires you. But money can run through your fingers like water.
The Leo Moon makes us dominant and confident. Since Leo is the symbol of self-expression, theater, and stage, we can define the orientation as external. You can be very creative. But flirting, pleasure and enjoyment are also part of those Leo days after all the whole world is ultimately one big stage and we are all actors.
This Trine gives you excellent learning skills, a sound mind, quick wit, language skills, and good judgment. Your intelligence is powerful. You practice independent and practical thinking and are open to everything new. It's an excellent time to go on a road trip.
You may have visions of grandeur, and feel like you are godly. Your imagination may take you places that don't make sense, and you might turn to alcohol and recreational drugs to feel better. You may feel slightly melancholic. It will be good for you to express yourself creatively, from painting to playing music.
extile Neptune (Aquarius) This aspect between Mercury and Neptune gives you a refined mental sensation, keen intuition, rich world of ideas, and a sense of poetry and art. You can realize your plans and have high hopes and beliefs. It's a fun time to go out on dates where you should make the extra effort to look really good. You'll get a lot of natural inspiration if you're an artist.
This Trine gives you great willpower, courage, practical action, resourcefulness, activity, love of truth, and openness. You may move to a new home, or totally rearrange your current home. It's a wonderful time for self improvement and conscious efforts to exercise and take better care of yourself. It's time for self-love and "me" time.
One can feel insecure and inwardly unbalanced. Strong passions are possible, but also inhibitions in love. It may not be easy to harmonize your emotions with your rational desires and needs.
