There are only eight defined moon 'phases', however the moon takes 29 days to make one complete orbit around the Earth, the eight moon phases are:

New Moon

Waxing Crescent

First Quarter

Waxing Gibbous

Full Moon

Waning Gibbous

Third Quarter

Waning Crescent

after the Waning Crescent moon phase, another New Moon occurs.
