A very insightful guess at Tyrone Slothrop's horoscope, erected by Mr Lannark: http://www.ottosell.de/pynchon/horos1.htm

My only interaction with him on the list was to make a vacuous joke hinging on the 2nd syllable of his surname - which is sad because I really did like his writing, and his view of the way astrology leavens _Gravity's Rainbow_ -
I hope he's forgiven me, or better yet maybe he never noticed, or maybe he even thought it was funny and started to reply with a joke on my name but got diverted by something more interesting --- like founding a community!? 
An accomplished person, sure to be missed.

Requiscat in pace!

Douglas Kløvedal Lannark
Født den 8.01.1944
St. Paul, Minnesotta

The 16 of April 2019 Douglas died after a hard and long fight with his
sickness. He made it to 75 and died in his danish home Maos Lyst,
Copenhagen/Hellerup, DK.
Douglas was remembered by his friends and relatives on the 5th of May at
Maos Lyst, the community in Hellerup that he co-founded in 1968.
Some of us who had the chance to meet Douglas in Valletta and Munich during
the Pynchon weeks to which he took part were for sure mesmerized, as I was,
by his deep inquiries into Pynchon's text and the heavens. As an astrologer
and star gazer he not only showed us the Transit of Venus in June 2004 but
also sent a wonderful letter every year in February or March in which he
would explain the sense of the Chinese New Year on behalf of the year's
animal and element as they are represented in Pynchon's novels.

Hail to the Doug', remember him!
