Where is the moon right now haven't seen it in 10 or 12 days even on clear nights?
Every moon-rise is about 50 minutes later than the one before it, on the average. By a week after Full Moon, it doesn't even rise until midnight or later. During the week before New Moon, it's getting skinnier every night, rising only a few hours before the sun, and too skinny to find in the sky after the sun is up. If you can't find the moon, and you have no idea where it is in the cycle of phases, the best thing to try is to get up and look around just before sunrise.
