Asteroid 63068, Moraes, was discovered on November 23, 2000 Nov. 23 by Hiromu Maeno at Shishikui (now Kaiyo), Tokushima, Japan. It has a period of 5 years, 195 days.
It was named for the Portuguese diplomat and writer Wenceslau de Moraes (1854-1929), who first came to Japan in 1889 and ended up spending the rest of his life there, acquainting the Japanese with Portuguese culture and vice versa; rather than sticking to the foreign community in Japan, he got involved with the Japanese people and lived with Japanese women, living for nearly thirty years (until his death) in Tokushima prefecture, although he never became a Japanese citizen.
Wenceslau de Moraes
Astrologically, asteroid Moraes seems to indicate being an expatriate or exile, "not at home anywhere," assimilating into a different culture or society, cultural exchange, immigration, falling in love with foreign people or places, loneliness or isolation.
