what direction does the moon rise

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west every day, just like the sun. This is due to Earths continuous daily spin beneath the sky. However, depending on the phase of the moon and the time of the year, the rising might actually occur in the east-northeast or east-southeast, and the setting might take place in the west-northwest or west-southwest. When the moon is full, it rises close to due east and sets close to due west on those dates nearest the Vernal and Fall Equinoxes.
