It's not the same every February. There's no connection between the calendar and the
moon's phases.
Also, you need to be more specific than simply naming a whole month. The moon goes through
all of its phases in about 29.5 days, so a whole month includes every phase there is.
(February is an exception, but only by about 1 day.)
In February, 2010, the named phases occur as follows:
February 6 . . . Last Quarter
February 14 . . New Moon
February 22 . . First Quarter
February 28 . . Full Moon
On February 4, 2010, the moon was in the waning gibbous phase.
At the beginning of 2/4 ... 00:00 GMT, it was 70.9% illuminated.
24 hours later, at the end of 2/4 ... 24:00 GMT, it was 60.6% illuminated.
The New Moon always occurs very close to the moon's "new moon" phase.

New Moon.
When there is no visibile moon it is called 'New Moon'.
first quarter
New Moon.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
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.
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.

New Moon Phase
The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
The crescent phase that precedes the new moon phase is called the waxing crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing. The crescent phase that follows the new moon phase is called the waning crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.
I am unable to provide real-time information about the current moon phase. You can check the moon phase for today using a moon phase calendar or a moon phase app on your phone.
The waxing crescent is the first phase after the new moon.
