I assume you're not interested in the geometry of the Thema Mundi, or if you are you can look it up - exaltations of nocturnal planets are in sextile to the rulership signs.
Let's say one of the primary real-world impulses of the moon is to nurture, to take care of people. Taurus moon is very very good at that because it's stable and does not get easily rocked emotionally. It gives the impulse to nurture a good chance to manifest in the real world.
Now, if the kind of astrology you do mostly connects to psychology, I can see why that wouldn't be worth much, as it's more about feelings and thoughts, and not about what actually happens to people, or what they do. But modern astrology has pretty much ditched dignities for not being democratic anyway, so there's no need to petition for a new exaltation scheme.
Of course, even if you have a Taurus moon, it's going to depend on house placements, aspects, etc. And there are certainly people with other moon signs (I've known a few Virgo moon folks like this in my own life) who are really good at taking care of people. Or you could have a Taurus moon that's horribly afflicted, so things don't work out.
It's complicated. What I don't see the point of is trashing or praising people because of planetary placements, or making sweeping generalisations about same.
