Moons orbit

I have read that the moon can have a big wobble in it's orbit but this
morning on the way to work it was almost setting in the south.
Way past 45 Deg. from dew west. I'll have to look this up and see if it
rises in the south also, or north.

Hey Mark: The moon is inclined 5 deg to the plane of earths orbit . That's
why it appears higher and lower in the sky during it's orbit.

The Moon's orbit is angled at 5 degrees to the ecliptic. However the major
effect is that the ecliptic does not cross your local horizon due East or
West except near the equinoxes. The exact difference depends on the time of
year and your local latitude.
