3102 Krok is an Amor-group asteroid with a period of 3 years, 57 days. It was discovered on August 21, 1981 by Lubos Brozek at Klet Observatory in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, and named for a semimythical fifth-century Slavonic prince of Bohemia who was the father of the sibyl Libushe and the father-in-law of Premysl, founders of the Czech royal dynasty of Premyslids and of the city of Prague. An account of the legend of Prince Krok which focuses upon Libushe, who succeeded him as ruler of the Czechs, and her husband Premysl, may be found by clicking here. This mythological association has its own possibilities, and then we have the crock pot, a thick earthenware pot for cooking("what's cooking?", meaning, what's happening?; "potboilers", meaning second-rate fiction said to have been created by an author to "keep the pot boiling"; "a chicken in every pot", a notorious American campaign slogan from Herbert Hoover's successful 1928 presidential campaign). Much of Krok's influence seems to derive from this last, or the American colloquial expression the name "Krok" suggests: "That's a crock" (meaning, that's a lie). Which you may find in the legend of Prince Krok as well: Libushe gave up her throne in disgust after she ruled in favor of keeping an ancient and justifiable rule in a dispute and the loser lamented the fact that a woman ruled the tribe, and later she foresaw great evil coming to the Czechs in the future.
Actor Sally Field first rose to prominence in the 1960s in the lightweight role of Gidget, the California surfer girl, and then took on the title role in the infamous series The Flying Nun, one of the most ridiculous roles ever created; she was laughed at on the street, which hurt her deeply, and when she was cast as the celebrated multiple-personality disorder case with 17 different personalities in Sybil, many were incredulous that Gidget and The Flying Nun could actually act. Since then, she has stuck to serious, meaty roles. Her notorious acceptance speech for her 1979 Best Actress Oscar for Norma Rae, in which she played a southern textile worker of the 1940s who turns union organizer, reflected her accumulated inner pain and made her sound neurotic("You like me, you like me--you really, really like me!). But she's moved on and hasn't looked back. Field has Krok contraparallel Saturn, Nabokov(pleasures that turn out to be extremely expensive), Wurm(being ridiculous or pathetic), and Pholus(folly, following one's heart to reward or to injury); parallel Sassi; square Vesta(commitment), Juno(feminine appeal), Cuitlahuac(having to quit something), Glo, Bologna, and TARDIS; opposite Pavlov(conditioning), Vicia, Proserpina, and Asbolus(bad experiences); sesquiquadrate Pluto(the unforgettable); sextile Chiron, trine Hylonome(public appeal) and Varuna(grandness); semisextile Hidalgo(self-assertion, self-promotion); and quincunx the Vertex(fated or important relationships).
John Hinckley, who out of his obsession with Jodie Foster tried to kill President Ronald Reagan, who barely survived to tell the tale, has Krok in the seventh house, exactly(to the minute) quincunx Chiron. Hinckley also has Krok square the Sun, Jupiter(the law), Hidalgo, and Sassi; sextile Mars(firearms) and Juno(relating, the rage of the oppressed); conjunct the Vertex, Descamisada("getting one's clock cleaned"), and SURF(not really with it); opposite Casanova(selfish desires), Walpurga(monsters in human shape), and Cuitlahuac; sesquiquadrate Lilith(resignation, the rage of the outsider); trine Varuna(justice, grandiosity) and Flora(apotheosis); septile Neptune(delusions); and nonile Uranus(the unexpected, reforms). Hinckley's successful use of M'Naughten to escape prison time only resulted in an extended stay in an asylum which has not yet ended and has resulted in criminal-justice reforms that have not only plugged the innocent-by-reason-of-insanity loophole, but have sent the mentally incompetent to execution as well.
Heinrich Himmler, another big name in the annals of world crime, also had Krok in the seventh house, septile Neptune, and also conjunct Asbolus, Thule(pride, bigotry), Don Quixote(wild fruitless rebellion), and Wurm; opposite Damocles(crisis, threat, challenging the system); square Glo, Pavlov, Phaethon(hell-bent on self-destruction), and Varuna(acting in a major way); sextile Tezcatlipoca(criminal behavior) and Madhatter; parellel Sassi; semisextile Cuitlahuac; trine Chiron; tredecile Uranus; and contraparallel Whiterabbit. His White Rabbit was Hitler and his Wonderland, Naziism; and Himmler never came back.
The glyph for Krok is my own creation: a fish, suggesting the phrase "fish story"(fairytale, lie) or "to smell stinking fish"(to smell a rat, to be suspicious").
