It always rises in the same place. The tilt of the earth makes it look like its different depending on the season.

same as the sun, rises in the east, sets in the west, has for century's, the moon rides higher in the sky in the winter (Northern hemisphere) because of the axis of the Earth. In winter (Northern Hemisphere) the sun is closer to the earth than "Summer", it is tilted (axis) more towards the sun, that's why it's "HOT" ! Tides are also a bit higher and lower (greater tidal range) in winter, moon rides higher in the sky, in winter "Perihelion" (Earth's closeness to the sun), and "Apogee" (how close the moon is to the Earth)

The same reason the sun does at different seasons. It moves around the ecliptic
