Asteroid 14517, Monitoma, was discovered on June 13, 1996, by Petr Pravec at Ondrejov, Czech Republic. It has a period of 4 years, 228 days.
Monitoma's name combines the given names of Pravec's sister, Monika Pravcová (born 1976), and brother-in-law, Tomáš Kneslík (born 1977), who fell in love the year Monitoma was discovered and got married in 2000, the year the asteroid was named.
Astrologically, Monitoma seems to indicate ordeals, putting an end to something.
Pro tennis player Martina Navratilova, who defected from communist-ruled Czechoslovakia, has Monitoma in the third house, on the cusp, semisextile Phaethon (in the driver's seat, a phenomenon) and Asbolus (awful experiences), quintile Pluto (to leave behind), square Pandora (making a splash) and trine Pallas (politics).
Ukrainian-born comedian Yakov Smirnoff (born January 24, 1951 in Odessa, Ukraine), another defector from behind the Iron Curtain, has Monitoma septile Pallas, trine Asbolus, sesquiquadrate Neptune (idealism) and quindecile Pluto.
Nelson Mandela has Monitoma conjunct Cruithne (heritage, country, race) and tredecile Pluto (tyranny, regimentation, leaving something behind) and Pallas.
Rwandan president Paul Kagame, a Tutsi, led a paramilitary group that put an end to the Hutu-extremist genocide of his ethnic group when it captured Kigali. He has Monitoma sextile Ixion (second chances), square Hylonome (the cry of the people), sesquiquadrate Vesta (dedication, commitment), quincunx Heracles (to contend with), and opposite Cruithne.
Utah kidnap victim Elizabeth Smart has Monitoma in the first house, on the Ascendant, opposite Vesta and parallel Mars (crime, aggression, rape).
Steven Stayner, who spent years as the captive and sex slave of pedophile Kenneth Parnell before finally walking into a Ukiah, California police station at age 14 with a younger boy Parnell had kidnapped for the same purpose, had Monitoma in the second house, sextile Pallas, Damocles (crisis, danger, transgressive) and the Ascendant (personal interests, the physical body), quincunx Neptune (confusion, to be stymied)and parallel Mars.
Candy Lightner, who founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving after the drunk driver who killed her daughter was given a lenient sentence, has Monitoma sesquiquadrate Mars (anger, energy) and quindecile Jupiter (philosophy, the law).
