Query : Will I get a job by this year or shud I start a consulting business. Going thru Financial problems. I am a widowed and stay alone. Nothing good is happening anymore from 2016 onwards.

XXX,
According to Vedic Astrology my observations are as follows:
Scorpio ascendant and lord Mars is placed in the house of fortune with Sun, but totally combust. Indications are that your own personality weakness or approach weakness might be hurting you. And unnecessary statements or comments which are not required, might be another cause of concern.
Your Rahu Mahadasha has started from 2016, October, and prior to that Jupiter Mahadasha indicates that due to your own comments and expenses – might be hurting you.
Anyways, your expenses will be more than required if going for business, that means plan for the job, refresh your skills, capitalize your links and go for the job. Druing the period you can give good efforts and can be competitive, try and chances may support you. Just keep a check on your unnecessary statements, and build repo with seniors properly.
Avoid inside politics of any organization.
Chances of job opportunity running give your efforts.
