Whenever the moon is at first quarter, whatever the date happens to be, it's

position is a quarter of the sky behind the sun. So it rises in the east roughly

six hours after the sun rises, it stands straight south of you roughly six hours

after noon, and sets in the west roughly six hours after sunset.
