Just use a lunar (Chinese) calendar or use a computer software such as Astroplanner ( http://www.ilangainc.com/astroplanner/ ) to determine the Moon phase.
Have a nice day.

i also used to have a casio watch which tells me the moon phase,lost it months ago , in the casio manual , i think the fomula used to calculate moon age is moon age =29.53 (moon angular distance/ 360 degree )... i dunno what is moon angular distance. :?: :?:
