In March e.g. az= imuth of rise increased between March 1 to March 10 with arrows variously u= p, horizontal or down. So, if I follow correctly, arrow direction relates to position not chan= ge of position. So up when less than ~83 and down when more than ~97 on ris= e; up when more than ~277 and down when <~263 on set. The moon really gets around. No wonder the Norse had moon tables for na= vigation and stone circle observatories to develop them; handy if much of y= our real estate is distant by sea.

Right arrows denote rise, left arrows set but what information is conve= yed when these arrows are rising, horizontal or falling ?
