The Moon today is in what is known as waxing gibbous moon, because when it grows, after passing the crescent phase, it begins to draw a kind of hump with its silhouette, and it does so clockwise in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. That is why the moons always face the opposite side in the lunar calendar of the southern hemisphere.
Another secret: if you see the Moon just after the sun has set is that it is in a growing phase. During the waning phase, the Moon does not appear over the horizon until some time after nightfall, a time that can be short, at the beginning of the waning phase, or hours, as it progresses through that phase and approaches the new Moon. All lunar phases have their peculiarities and knowing them helps us know what we are seeing when we look up.
