Asteroid 10863, Oye, was discovered on August 31, 1995 at the Air Force Maui Optical Station (AMOS) on Mount Haleakala near Kula, Hawaii, on the island of Maui. It has a period of 5 years, 11 days.
Oye was named for Jacob and Martha Oye, the grandparents of Paul Kervin, who was the AMOS technical director. Jacob Oye immigrated to the United States from Norway as a young man, and Martha Oye was the daughter of immigrants from Norway to the United States.
Oye, in Spanish, means "he hears," "she hears," or "it hears."
Astrologically, Oye seems to indicate what this might suggest: attentive, loyal, subservient, obsequious, sycophantic.
Bill Clinton, who has been attacked by his political enemies for his sensitivity to public opinion, has Oye in the tenth house, trine Talos (criticism).
Former South African president F.W. DeKlerk (born March 18, 1936 in Johannesburg), under whose watch the country's infamous apartheid laws were abolished in response to decades of international pressure, has Oye semisextile Mars (acting boldly) and Thereus (willingness to work with others) and trine Quaoar (acting under compulsion).
Jeane Kirkpatrick (born November 19, 1926 in Duncan, Oklahoma), who was UN Ambassador under Ronald Reagan and is a fawning admirer of him, has Oye conjunct Don Quixote (taking on something), sextile Chariklo (need to keep perspective, glamorization), trine Dioretsa (something that sticks, off course), quincunx Hylonome (high emotional gradient) and opposite Jupiter (philosophy).
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer (born October 13, 1960 in Pound Ridge, New York), like almost everyone else in the George W. Bush Administration not noted for independent thinking or warmth toward the media, has Oye semisquare Heracles (to contend with) and Cruithne and trine Pandora (to make a splash, have an impact) and Bienor (acting so as to nurture, condemning).
Texas Governor Rick Perry (born March 4, 1950) has Oye semisextile Venus (values) and Elatus (eloquent expression), sextile Phaethon (in the driver's seat) and quincunx Quaoar (under scrutiny). His too-cozy relationships with corporate donors have attracted interest from critics.
Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick, the first Republican Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives since Reconstruction, who also owes much to Tom DeLay politically and also has shown a willingness to be his and George W. Bush's flunky, has Oye semisextile Mercury, sextile Venus and Chiron (the key, the door-opener), square Pluto (corporations, big money, others' money) and opposite Nessus (predatory, greed).
The glyph for Oye is mine.
