Asteroid 14367,Hippokrates, was discovered on September 8, 1988 by Friedrich Börngen at Tautenburg Observatory in Tautenburg, Thuringia, Germany. It has a period of 5 years, 209 days.
It was named for "The Father of Medicine," ancient Greek physician Hippokrates(460 BCE-357 BCE), who wrote the Hippocratic Oath which new doctors still swear on their graduation from medical school and which lays out their code of ethics.
Hippokrates
Astrologically, Hippokrates seems to indicate having to do with medical ethics and/or competence.
Actor Julie Andrews, whose most famous role is probably Maria von Trapp in the 1965 musical The Sound Of Music and whose ability to sing was destroyed by a botched vocal-chord operation, has Hippokrates in the first house, tredecile Chiron (need to pay attention) and quincunx Saturn (work) and Uranus (accidents).
Antonio Egas Moniz (born November 29, 1874, in Avanca, Portugal), who developed the lobotomy, had Hippokrates sextile Varuna (grown huge, judgmental), trine Phaethon (a phenomenon), parallel Mercury (writings) and contraparallel Vesta (dedication).
Walter Freeman (born November 14, 1895 in Philadelphia), whose ambition led him to popularize the use of the lobotomy in the US, maiming thousands for life, had Hippokrates conjunct the South Node (past influences), semisextile Jupiter (prosperity, travel, philosophy) and Asbolus (awful things), sextile Mars (surgery), quintile Uranus (fanaticism), trine Pholus (need for respect) and Dioretsa (foolishness, something that sticks), sesquiquadrate Juno (the disadvantaged, e.g., the mentally ill), quincunx Cruithne (branded) and opposite North Node (moving beyond something, making connections).
Rosemary Kennedy, perhaps the most famous victim of Freeman's butchery, has been alleged to have been subjected to the lobotomy because she gave her parents trouble; some say her father also feared her interest in men. She has Hippokrates conjunct the Sun (to shine), sextile Mars (anger) and Vesta, quintile Pluto (ruthlessness), square the Nodes (connections), opposite Heracles (throwing one's weight around) and parallel Chiron (self-damaging).
Frances Farmer, who was locked up in psychiatric institutions for giving her mother problems and has been alleged to have been another one of Freeman's victims, had Hippokrates decile Pholus (standing up to power, need for respect) and quintile Neptune (vitiated, stymied, motion pictures).
Slobodan Milosevic, a former psychiatrist, has Hippokrates conjunct Mars (war, violence), tredecile Saturn and trine Nessus (psychological toxins).
British physician and infamous serial killer Harold Shipman had Hippokrates in the eighth house of sex and legacies, semisquare Saturn and Chiron, trine Mercury, Ceres (nurturance, grief) and Nessus, and quincunx the East Point (as the world sees you).
Charles Drew (born June 3, 1904, in Washington, DC), an African-American physician who overcame bigotry to do groundbreaking work on the technology of blood transfusion, had Hippokrates semisquare Chiron and square Ceres.
Former Vermont governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean, a physician, has Hippokrates in the seventh house, conjunct Pholus, sextile the Sun, Chaos (activism), Pandora (stirring things up, making a splash) and the Vertex (significant relationships), square Vesta and Hidalgo (to assert, to promote, to defend), and sesquiquadrate the Moon (the public).
Christiaan Barnard (born November 8, 1922, in Beaufort West, South Africa), who reportedly had a brother who died at the age of three from a heart defect and is known for pioneering heart surgery, including the performance of the first human-to-human heart transplant, had Hippokrates decile Vesta, sextile Phaethon (a phenomenon) and the North Node (moving past something, making connections), square Mercury, and trine the South Node (past influences).
Nazi mad scientist Sigmund Rascher (born February 12, 1909 in Monaco), notorious for his experiments on concentration-camp inmates, especially the ones involving hypothermia and low air pressure, had Hippokrates conjunct Pallas (politics, conceptualization) and the South Node, sextile the Sun and Chiron, square Nessus, trine Dioretsa, opposite Pluto, parallel Mars and Uranus, and contraparallel Neptune (scandalous).
His even more infamous colleague Josef Mengele had Hippokrates in the eleventh house of politics, sextile Mercury, square Hylonome (pathos, the cry of the people), trine Pandora and Damocles (danger, transgressiveness, experience of groupthink), opposite Hidalgo, and parallel Pluto.
The glyph for Hippokrates is mine.
