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.

You are determined, imaginative, keen to travel, and optimistic! This transit also lends itself to great opportunities for creating advertising campaigns geared at women!
The trine between the Sun and Neptune awakens refined feelings and sensations, and your good taste and love for beauty and art. You are also attracted to mystical studies. It is a wonderful time to seek the guidance of a spiritual teacher, or become a teacher yourself. You could have romantic encounters through participation in cultural, spiritual and religious activities. You find a lot of peace at the ocean.
Under this aspect, you are restless and impatient, hardly dealing with things for a long time. You're rash with your judgments, and impatiently interrupt others. You always think you're right, and can't bear rejection by those close to you. You also tend to overwork. Your mind works fine, but you often jump to decisions too quickly, making mistake after mistake. You don't want to deal with "unimportant things," overlooking important matters. You should slow down a bit.
