~Gloom, Stabilization, Approval~
Moon in Cancer

There can be obscuration and melancholy, quietude and gloom, but this is just a background into which one can slip and one does not have to stay there. Within such seeming ineffectuality and adaptability, one may be a member of "humanity seeking to bridge the span of knowledge." What is not known is a matrix for what can become known. We can have faith in our own reasoning powers and thereby make a rational contribution to the world and ourselves.
Multiple squares and oppositions among the planets, including the moon, make for "a storm-swept prairie." Some could become "free as the wind" but also violent and rash, following an extravagant and wasteful path. "Fallen idols and desolated temples" are left behind by a desperado. Destroying where one cannot build is the last resort of someone intent on self-annihilation. We are not likely to go that far but we might note the tendency in ourselves and others. If one gets through the storm one reaches "a massive, rocky shore" where one's spirit is poised and one's personality firm, prepared for any contingency. This is welcome and salvific stabilization.
To avoid bias, we might rephrase "a Chinese laundry" as "an immigrant running a laundry." The idea is that one may be in an unknown or difficult environment where one is uneasy, so one adopts work which is uncontroversial and needed. One is perhaps alone or secluded. One maintains poise and self-perspective through hard labor. The opposite of this is "a Maypole with a crown of flowers at the top, and someone climbing to procure it." One wants popularity. And so one breaks out of the "laundry" to climb the Maypole, and gain momentary approbation.
