No. The Moon makes one spin (rotation) and one orbit of the Earth in the same period of time, which is about 27.3 days. Because the Earth and Moon are orbiting the Sun, the cycle of lunar phases takes about 29.5 days.

Why does the moon rotate every 13.8 degrees east?

The Moon doesn't rotate. It does orbit the Earth, while the Earth orbits the Sun, but the same side of the moon is shown to the Earth at all times. Where did you get the figure 13.8 degrees east?


Does the moon do a full rotation every 12 hours and 25 min?

No. The Moon rotates synchronously - its rotational period is the same as its orbital period. So the same face of the Moon is always visible. Since it takes the Moon about 27 days to orbit the Earth once, that's also the time it takes for the Moon to rotate once.
