Pittsburgh’s Slim Forsythe will be one of the performers in Saturday, May 26′s Jim Krenn “aLIVE” – a unique toast to Pittsburgh, featuring a slew of performers and a blend of video vignettes, live standup comedy, improv and live music performances.

Slim Forsythe -the man behind The One Bird They Won’t Free is Jimmy Krenn – is a talented singer/songwriter, specializing in classic country music. He plays frequently all over Pittsburgh and has released a number of popular singles, not to mention that fact that Slim is a jack-of-all-trades, with self-published novels and many jobs (including Zippo factory worker and assistant to former City Controller Tom Flaherty) under his belt.

This week, Read The Stars explores Mercury’s move into Taurus – which occurred on May 9th – and how this will affect our change of pace:

Like a calm and peaceful forest, the sign of Taurus will do much to tame down our thinking, speaking and manifesting as Mercury makes its way through.

Mercury entered Taurus at 1:15 AM on May 9, 2012, and as this happened we may have noticed a change in the pace with which we took our daily tasks. While in Aries, Mercury had us in a mad rush to think faster, talk more quickly and move from one place to another with a random and voracious sense of purpose. As long as we were moving, we felt at least somewhat comfortable. Now, we can be more comfortable going more slowly, taking time to absorb our environment, and giving more consideration to the words we use.

Important Dates:

May 9 1:15 AM: Mercury enters Taurus.
May 10 6:00 PM: Mercury sextile Neptune.
May 13 11:48 PM: Mercury trine Mars.
May 14 4:09 AM: Mercury trine Pluto.
May 22 1:58 AM: Mercury conjunct Jupiter.
May 24 7:12 AM: Mercury enters Gemini.

Check out Read the Stars’ Mercury in Taurus: A Slower, Calmer Place for the full story and accompanying video.
