Generally speaking, if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the sunlit portion of the moon will move from right to left (i.e. a first quarter moon will look like a capital D and a third quarter moon will look like a reverse capital D). In the Southern Hemisphere, the sunlit portion of the moon will move from left to right (the first and third quarter moons will be lit on the opposite sides as when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere). In countries near the equator, it is a lot harder to ascertain waxing and waning moon phases but the first quarter moon will look like a lowercase n when it rises and an uppercase u when it sets, likewise the third quarter moon will look like an uppercase u when it rises and a lowercase n when it sets.
The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.
