The Moon is Waning at this time - growing smaller - light is on the left side and right side is darker each night. Or as stated from another web search "As the moon orbits the Earth, we see the moon in differing amounts of the sun's light. When the moon is farthest from the sun, the side facing Earth is in full sunlight. When it's closest to the sun, the side we see is in full shadow, and is called "New moon." In between those two phases, which are about 2 weeks apart, there's the "Waning moon", which means the sunlit side we see is getting smaller day to day, and then there's the "Waxing moon", which means that the sunlit side we see is getting larger day to day."
