I look forward to the "at least one thing better" state.
Hope. That's it. Occasionally anger.
Otherwise I'd probably just stop eating and fade away.
2016...here's a big group hug for you 
2016, you see, will have the South Node of the Moon in Pisces (which it's been in since November).
There will be a higher risk of floods, of course, and the issue of rising sea levels may make itself felt in a big way; keep travel by sea to a minimum this year.
Avoid risky drug use and even surgery involving general anesthesia, since narcotics (ruled by Pisces) will be made problematic by this South Node placement. Watch for celebrity overdoses (not necessarily lethal) and suicides, as well as major incidents involving con men and cults (two of the other common negative iterations of Pisces).
On the positive side, this should be a far less bellicose year than 2014 and 2015, when the South Node was in Aries. Fewer wildfires too (and those that do occur are far more likely to be intentional). Much intrigue in politics and world affairs this year (even more than usual) - but by the same token, much more likely to backfire on the perpetrators.
Election this year should be interesting. Unlike in 2000, however, tricksters will find it most inauspicious (this means you, GOP).
Above all, Happy New Year, kpete, and all at DU! 
I apologize for being so blunt 
Bernie said it best: "Hillary, on her worst day, is infinitely better than anything coming out of today's Republican Party."
