Which phase of the moon happens right after a third quarter moon?
The lunar cycle begins at the New Moon when the moon has just passed the sun in its travel from west to east in the "pm" sky, and it sets just after sunset. After a week the moon is a quarter of its way around the Earth and so at sunset it is high in the sky. This is called the First Quarter. The first Quarter Moon follows the sun from east to west and sets at midnight. When the moon has done half of its monthly journey, it is on the side of the Earth opposite the Sun and the Moon is Full. It rises at sunset and can be seen in the sky all night, setting at dawn. In the Third Quarter Phase, the moon is three quarters of the way around and at sunset it is directly below us. It has apparently shifted from the sunset area (at New Moon) to overhead at sunset (First Quarter) to Eastern horizon at sunset (Full Moon), to below us at sunset (Third Quarter). At Third Quarter, the Moon rises at midnight and will be high in the sky at sunrise. It will set about mid-day.

If the Moon is straight south at sunset, then it was 7 days old at first quarter; if it was southwest, it was about 3-4 days past the new.
