Pizzazz Magazine (source: fanboy.com)

I just came across this photo while Googling the word “pizzazz.” It’s the cover of a magazine called “Pizzazz.” Curiously enough, when I was in high school a few years after this issue came out, I became friends with a girl whose brother ended up playing Thor in the made-for-television movie “The Incredible Hulk Returns.” I know, right?

Anyway, the reason I was looking up the word “pizzazz” was because I was thinking about how Mars’ ingress into my first house tomorrow morning might affect my liveliness after a somewhat lethargic summer. I’m starting to feel a spark within me (as I tend to do when the weather cools down in this part of the world). To have the planet associated with energy moving into a conjunction with my ascendant on the day that the fall equinox arrives just adds fuel to that nascent fire.

What really surprised me during this online inquiry, however, was my discovery of this definition of the word “pizzazz” that showed up at the top of the search results: “an attractive combination of vitality and glamour.” Those are qualities that are nearly bursting out of my clothes already. It’s nice to know that I’m going to be even more vital and glamorous over the next few weeks. I imagine that makes the rest of you green with envy.

Still, I am a little worried about Mars conjoining my ascendant while I’m at work tomorrow. That can be the sort of aspect that makes someone transform into the Incredible Hulk when confronted or attacked. I’d be happy to get through the day without turning into a monster. I work in customer service, though, so sometimes that isn’t up to me. I gotta do what I gotta do when someone starts screaming at me.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get off of this computer. All this pizzazz isn’t going to serve itself . . .
