Let us go through the overview of the upcoming year first. Afterwards we will see that how the specific planetary transits of Jupiter, Saturn , Rahu and Ketu are effecting the chart on a major and minor level , followed by the remedial measures. 

The focus of this year would be your mother, home and peace of mind where would you plan for their betterment through gathering of resources or building new assets. Previously if you were away from family this is the year in which you would encounter situations in which you you have to get involved with them on an emergency basis and sort the issues out. 

There would be changes in your Vastu as well such as getting new decorative items or new furniture – if you are planning for a new home then this year would be the time to start looking for home for staying for a long duration – and the same would be for Cars as well. Taking care of your mother would be important in this year as She may get some health issues related to Spine, Stomach or Private parts and if your 4th lord or Moon is already afflicted then try to be more cautious about it and do the tests as soon as possible. You can also plan to do construction in your home this year if you have been planning it before but this would happen in the 2nd half itself.
