If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

The moon's free body diagram would include only two forces: the gravitational force pulling it towards the Earth and the centrifugal force pushing it away from the Earth due to its orbit.
