That all depends what time of day you see it in the east.
If it's rising in the east within a few hours before the sun, it's a waning crescent.
If it's rising in the east around Noon, it's at First Quarter, and appears half illuminated.
If it's rising in the east just as the sun is setting in the west, then it's full.
If it's rising in the east around midnight, then it's at Last Quarter, and is half illuminated.

What planet has no moon and rotates from east to west?

What moon phase is one week after full moon?

What creates the lunar phases that you are able to see?
The position of the moon in relation to the sun creates the different phases. Depending on where the moon is in it's orbit around Earth defines how much of the illuminated side we can see from here. When the moon is between Earth and the sun, it's a "new" moon and we can't see it - the sun's glare blocks it out, UNLESS it eclipses the sun. As it moves east, away from the sun, it first appears as a thin crescent until it moves behind Earth, which is when it appears full - Earth is now between the moon and the sun. Then it continues moving east and gets smaller or "wanes" until it disappears into the sun's glare again and then becomes a "new" moon.
