Astrology says:

2016 is the year for big, important changes, Taurus. You can reinvent yourself from the ground up if you so choose. 
People will see you differently this year, even if you change nothing. Be adaptable but firm, and be happy with yourself.
March and April brings you some new people, and perhaps a shift in personal tastes and opinions. Keep what you like and shrug off the rest.
A Mercury retrograde in Taurus in April and May lets you make any corrections that feel right.
Radical changes may not be needed, though. You'll see what works for you. In August and September this will be clear. 
Strong emotional bonds and karmic connections will keep you in touch with the right people, doing the right things. Don't get over-ambitious, and prioritize your health. People love you.
2016 seems custom-built for Taurus, when you can do things at your own speed and make adjustments until you're more comfortable with your life.

 The Message

“The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.” - - - John 1:9

Prayer      

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your light that reminds me of Your great and awesome love for me.  Amen.

@Living Water 2015

You can question a process if you wish, and you can come up with all kinds of reasons and facts and figures that could lead you to believe that this process will not work out. Maybe you don't have faith in someone else who is involved, and maybe you don't have faith in yourself. If you go out on a mission to find something wrong though, Taurus, then you will certainly find it. You need to change your mission. You need to go out in search of reasons to believe in what you are doing, and you will certainly find a reason to believe.
