Answer :D
The sun and moon move across the sky in an east-west plane. In other words when they are not aligned (a new moon) then they are roughly either east or west of each other. Since the moon reflects the sun's light, its bright side will be 'pointing' to the direction of the sun, ie. approximately east or west.

Explanation:
By an amazing coincidence, the moon's appearnt size in our sky is almost exactly the same as the sun's about half a degree . This means that it's possible, as the new moon passes by the sun in its monthly trip around the ecliptic, for the moon's disc to completely cover the sun.
