What pattern of the moon phase will be the next four weeks?

The moon phases follow a predictable cycle, moving from new moon to full moon and back. In the next four weeks, you can expect to see a progression starting with a new moon, followed by a waxing crescent, a first quarter, a waxing gibbous, reaching a full moon about two weeks in. After the full moon, it will transition to a waning gibbous, then a last quarter, and finally a waning crescent before returning to the new moon phase.
