I'm sorry, I don't follow this.
The phase of the moon is independent of its rising and setting times, which 
is dependent on the location of the observer and the time of year. 

For instance, this month the moon became full at 10.49 GMT on the 18th. In 
Edinburgh it rose at 15.55 GMT and set at 09.11 GMT. In London, it rose at 
16.11 GMT and set at 08.28 GMT, whereas in Christchurch (NZ) it didn't rise 
until about 9 pm local time.
