On average though the magnetic field is getting more aligned with the axis of rotation.

If I had to guess, it would make intuitive sense that this is the reason they are moving at in non-opposite directions and at different speeds. It’s somewhat add that we don’t have a straight forward axis in the first place. But if the poles are going to shift, it would make sense that the axis is related.
