The current direction of the Moon depends on the observing location. For a reference location near 39.6° N latitude, 104.9° W longitude (Mountain Daylight Time), on September 14, 2025, at about 8:19 AM, the Moon is 69.55° above the horizon in the southwest with a true compass bearing of approximately 243° (west-southwest).
For Zurich, Switzerland, on the same date, the Moon direction is roughly 315° (northwest), but it is setting in the afternoon.
In the northeastern sky before dawn, the Moon appears high and near the star Beta Tauri (Elnath) with about 47% illumination.
Therefore, the Moon's direction right now varies by location, but in many places in the northern hemisphere on this date and time, it is generally positioned toward the west-southwest to northwest sky.
