Compassionate & Service Oriented
Moon in the 6th house produces a person who is sensitive and compassionate to others, who are injured, emotionally exhausted or traumatized, neglected, and victims of any other similar circumstance.
They make their priorities always secondary to the needs of those being served which makes them great healers and nurturers of people in need. Furthermore, their subconscious mind is preoccupied with thoughts and worries about others which causes mental stress and anxiety.

Mental Stress
Moon in the 6th house of challenges puts the mind under constant pressure leaving no other choice than to become mentally strong and resistant over time.
Starting from childhood, one is forced to withstand opposition and conflicted situations which train the mind to become stable and strong in these difficult circumstances.
As a result, the mind (Moon) becomes aware of what is happening in the surroundings and how to respond quickly and strategically efficiently when necessary.
However, alertness compromises the peace and happiness of mind. Waxing or Full Moon helps to cope with the mental stress leading to auspicious outcomes such as a well-trained mind for demanding conditions.
If Moon is fallen or waning, it indicates having a negative mindset which makes it extremely difficult to resist various stressors leading to severe anxiety.
Health & Immunity
The 6th house is a malefic house where natural malefic planets function more effectively. However, Moon is a natural benefic planet which makes it hard to deal with the natural significances of the 6th house.

The condition of the Moon in the 6th house determines the vulnerability to various health threats. With that being said, if Moon is Waxing, Full, and well-placed it indicates having strong immunity and resistance to diseases both of which provide sound health.
If Moon is weak (Waning or Dark) and ill-placed it indicates various health issues related to Moon (mind) and 6th house (abdomen). Accordingly, a weak Moon in the considered house indicates mental stress, anxiety, and issues regarding digestion and related organs.
Gentle & Vulnerable
The 6th house represents opposition and challenges caused by enemies all of which take a great toll on the mind as Moon is directly in this unsuitable environment.
The gentle planet Moon in the given house indicates using gentle tactics in dealing with the opposition which is very ineffective, indeed.
Moon is also the planet of thinking patterns that influence the general behavior making it rather harsh in the given house.
Namely, as these natives experience lots of difficulties, they eventually become stressed and develop an unnecessary layer of protection.
This protective layer makes them seem very rude, harsh, and annoyed while they are actually not. They simply try to protect their gentle nature from intruders.
The considered combination also indicates being overly critical and argumentative which is another manifestation of insecurity.
That is to say, these natives might often feel bad about themselves for specific reasons. To attempt to solve this issue, they try to find something in others that is relatable and helps to heal.
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
