The next half moon, also known as the first or last quarter moon, occurs approximately every 29.5 days as part of the lunar cycle. To find the exact date of the next half moon, you can check a lunar calendar or a reliable astronomy website for current moon phases. As of October 2023, the next quarter moon will be on October 25, 2023.
Every 28 and a half days a year
The first phase is a new moon, that is when you can't see the moon at all. Next is a waxing crescent, that is when the moon looks a bit like a banana. The next phase is a half moon (which in space it is actually a quarter moon but in Earth it looks like a half moon) is when the moon is right down the middle. Next is a waxing gibbous, which is when it is nearly full (3 quarters). The next phase is the full moon which is when you can see all the moon reflecting from the Sun. The next phase is a waning gibbous is when the moon is three quarters again but it is facing the other way because its getting smaller. The next phase is the half moon again but facing the other way. The next phase is a waning crescent Moon which is when the moon looks like a banana again but facing the other way. The next phase is back to the new moon when you can see nothing again. That is all the phases of the moon and it take about 28 days to do that while orbiting the earth.
The next half moon, also known as the first or last quarter moon, depends on the current date. You can find the exact dates for upcoming half moons by checking a lunar calendar or an astronomy app. Typically, half moons occur approximately every 29.5 days as part of the lunar cycle.

About 30 May.
A half moonA half moon
because only half of the visible moon is lite. we only see half the moon so only a quarter of the moon is lite.===================================Another take:After the New Moon . . .-- The 'first quarter' is the phase that's seen after 1/4 of the timeuntil the next New Moon has passed.-- The 'third quarter' is the phase that's seen after 3/4 of the timeuntil the next New Moon has passed.
A full lunar cycle is 29 1/2 days, on average.
The right half of the moon is illuminated.

The bottom half of Singapores flag is white, and the top half is red. On the top half there is a moon '(' and right next to the moon on the right are five stars in a 'pentagon' shape.
When the moon appears as a half-illuminated disk, and the illuminated portion is growing from one night to the next,the phase is known as "first quarter".
"Waxing" is the term used when the Moon's illuminated part is growing in size, while "waning" means that the lighted part is decreasing. "Gibbous" means more than half, but not full. So "waxing gibbous" is the phase of the Moon between the first quarter and the full moon.

Hi, I witnessed a red moon yesterday morning, June 16, 2009 around 1 am. It was a half-moon and low in the sky.
It takes the moon 29 and a half days to go through each cycle.
