How do I overcome fear of public speaking?

Communication anxiety often has a clear astrological signature. Ba Zi examines your "Hurting Officer" (傷官) and "Eating God" (食神) stars — these govern self-expression; when suppressed by the Officer element, speaking up feels dangerous. Western Astrology looks at Mercury (communication) and its aspects — Mercury square Saturn often correlates with communication anxiety. Jyotish examines the 2nd house (speech) and its lord, plus Mercury's strength in the chart. Numerology identifies Life Path numbers associated with communication gifts and challenges.
