The Taurus born individuals should pull up the breeches and also mentally ready themselves for some important lessons, for which essentially the human being is born. The first half of the year is likely to be tougher for the Taurus as most of the transits do not augur well. (Personal horoscopes and dashas / planetary periods may decide to what extent effects will be felt).

However, it can be said with some certainty that relationships will be among the biggest teachers during this time. You may have to work extraordinarily hard to succeed professionally and sometimes you may even sit wondering that despite putting in your best, what is the essential ingredient that is keeping the success away. Things take a turn for the better from the month of August 2016, when Jupiter moves into the sign of Virgo. This transits brings relief from mental anxiety and also eases the pressure on finances as well as work, you can expect relatively better outcomes in the latter half of the year.

As mentioned before, the first half of 2016 may be quite gruelling and exacting physically as well as mentally for the Taurus born individual. You may steadily experience an increase in ambition, a desire to increase your assets, a dissatisfaction with routine and status quo and a sense of frustration as desired break throughs or outcomes are not forthcoming. You may sense opportunities but they may not come to fruition / slip out of your hands at the last minute.

There could also be general disillusionment as you hit a roadblock, where resources are concerned or may be fatigued running from pillar to post, getting the sanctions or paperwork completed. You should be amply careful in the first half of the year with Rahu conjunct Jupiter in the 4th house creating a desire to acquire / expand more by way of assets, vehicles and immovable property. Rushing in to make a quick buck, or acquiring a property at an unbelievably low cost may turn out to be a trap that you end up paying for dearly.

Keep your ambition in realistic bounds. Also, don’t take on more work than you could actually accomplish, otherwise your reputation is likely to get affected in turn affecting your fortunes.

Those individuals who require travelling for work may see more frequent movement. While it may seem to be physically taxing, resisting travel during this period maybe counter productive. Some of the individuals may have to move to a different location, possibly away from the country. There may be a feeling of being uprooted as you may have to stay away from the family for a while.

Those in service / working under an employer may find it hard to keep focus or interest in existing set of responsibilities and you may feel as if you’ve been imprisoned by the circumstances. This is definitely not a time to take decisions based on momentary feeling or a hurt ego.

Things take a turn for the better from August of 2016 when favourable opportunities and news can be expected you may be in a better frame of mind with greater focus on self-development and possibly acquiring an additional skill or enrolling for an advanced level course or certification. There maybe some good news professionally and financially in the later half of the year. However, a lot depends on your decisions taken in the first half (as mentioned before, it will be important to keep the ambitions in realistic bounds and not give into the urge to scale the ladder of success and riches faster than you can at this juncture!) you will most definitely need to keep ego from playing spoil sport in personal equations.
