The period of the complete cycle of phases of the moon is about 29 days. So, exactly 15 days after the moment of Full Moon, it will have just passed New Moon. If you can see it at all at that time, it will be the skinniest possible crescent, very close to the sun in the sky.
If tonight the phase of the moon is full when it rises what will be the phase 4 days from now is in the waning gibbous stage.
One week from now, the moon will likely be in the first quarter phase, where half of the moon is illuminated. The new moon phase is followed by the waxing crescent phase and then the first quarter phase in the lunar cycle.
The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete one full phase cycle, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
The moon takes about 7 days to transition from a Full Moon to a Waning Gibbous phase.

The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
Fourteen days after a full moon, the moon will be in the new moon phase. This is because the lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days, so two weeks after a full moon, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it largely invisible from Earth.
It takes approximately 29.5 days for the moon to go from one full moon phase to the next when viewed from Earth. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
After 21 days from a new moon, you would reach a full moon phase. The lunar cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, so 21 days after a new moon would place you close to a full moon phase.
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete one full phase cycle, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
