It takes aprox. 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. Confusion is caused because it takes the same period to orbit the Earth, so that it keeps the same side facing the Earth

How many times changes occurs in the Earth axis?

The Earth's axis (the imaginary line round which it spins like a top) has remained at its current inclination since the Earth/Moon system formed some 4 thousand million years ago. The reason for this is that the presence of the Moon stabilises the Earth and prevents the axis of spin from changing.
