The plane of the Moon's orbit about the Earth is angled at about 5 degrees to the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun. This is the reason why at a given phase point it may appear to be higher/lower in sky than at the same point in its previous orbit.
The Moon makes 13 orbits about the Earth in one Year.
The Earth and the Moon follow a mean orvital track about the Sun. However, because the Moon is so large and near to Earth, it pulls the Earth in and out of this mean track.
We can think of the Earth and Moon 'dancing' through space.
