The Moon revolves around the Earth in about 27 days, during which time it appears in every part of the ecliptic. Its mean orbital motion is about 13° per day, or a little over half a degree per hour.

It has to, otherwise the phases would never get done.
Even the sun is not in the same place at the same time every day, and it defines time. Only Polaris doesn't move.
