Hello! This is my first post on the forum and i'm also still very inexperienced with the I Ching, but I was hoping you guys could give me some insights.
I don't know if you need this much background information, but I figure it may help.
I still have no idea what I want to do with my life, and recently I feel that i've lost everything that was really important to me, including a relationship that I was investing so much of myself in that I now see was distracting me from finding my own path in life..but it still hurts so much.
SO, I just discovered an amazing opportunity to volunteer in Dharamsala, helping Tibetan school children while also learning about the Tibetan culture and hiking the Himalayas.
I asked the I Ching what would come of volunteering in Dharamsala in June, and I cast Hexagram 50, with changing lines 2 and 5, and Transformed Hexagram 33.

Like I said I am very inexperienced in interpreting hexagrams, so I would greatly appreciate any comments. Since I got a transformed hex 33, does that mean I should hold back because I am not ready for that situation? or does it mean it would be a good thing for me to go volunteer?

In general , H50 is a very positive omen, and Lines 2 and 5 are both strong positive lines. It sounds like this time in Tibet will be a retreat for you (H33), but one that will develop you spiritually. You will come away with strong and valuable qualities that will be yours to keep (H50, Line 5)

Line 2 indicates that others may not understand your journey, and may be anxious, and that you should not let their anxiety touch you.

this is exactly what I had in mind (a spiritual retreat of some sort) when I started looking for places to volunteer, so that makes perfect sense.
much appreciated!
