ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’ve got stage fright, but I don’t even have to be on stage to experience it. Most times I’m just at a party or with a large group. Either I shake, drop things, drink too much or say something stupid. Will I ever get better? My birthday is June 30, 1949."

Feeling anxious in social situations is a common experience. Your sun travels in the same place as Uranus and just a short distance from Venus, and all three are under the influence of Cancer. You are extremely aware of your surroundings and the moods of others. Your Virgo moon is concerned with emotional security, something your Cancer sun is also seeking, while Venus in Cancer adds a touch of the romantic. Uranus conjuncts with your sun, making you somewhat of an eccentric, and therefore it is highly likely that the "stupid" things that you say are quite insightful and just not the norm in a party atmosphere. Try being the center of attention in your own turf. Cancers like to entertain in their own homes, after all, the crab carries his own domicile on his back. Before you brand yourself a "social misfit," throw a party of your own.

She could meet and marry her perfect match all in the same week!
