Whether you view west or in some other direction, many stars will rise in the east and set in the west. However, stars that are far north, for example, might rise in the north-east and set in the north-west; some stars might even rise and set almost north. Similarly, other stars may rise in the south-east, and set in the south-west, etc.

The sun, moon, and stars all appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis.

The moon's own orbit around the Earth affects its position, but it does not directly impact the sun and stars.
