So where do think the Moon rises and sets?
Well, considering it's a "supermoon", it's a full moon, which means it's the opposite side to the sun. As the sun sets, the moon rises. So you want an easterly view. We're approaching winter (or summer) solistice, so bear in mind the further north (or south) from the equator you are, the further south (or north) from true east the sun will set. Which means the moon will rise further north (or south) from true east.
It's not rocket surgery.
