The appearance of the moon on Monday may vary depending on its phase. It could have been a crescent, half, gibbous, or full moon. You can check a moon phase calendar or app to see the specific phase of the moon on a particular date.
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards 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.
