What happens when Moon transits your 6th house?

The Moon's transit through your 6th house lasts about two and a half days and connects emotional wellbeing directly to daily life. You will not feel right until your workspace is organized, your health feels attended to, and your to-do list reflects some actual progress. Emotional satisfaction comes through usefulness during this short but grounding transit.

Duration & Timing

The Moon moves through each house in roughly two and a half days, creating brief but noticeable emotional shifts. These are the background rhythms of daily life -- subtle mood changes, passing urges, momentary needs that color a day or two before the Moon moves on. Most people do not consciously notice individual Moon transits, but they shape the emotional texture of each week.
