The Moon Phase is based on the position of the moon in relation to the sun. There are four main phases (New, Waxing, Full, and Waning), and the phase is determined by the position of the moon in its orbit around Earth.
The Lunar Mansion, however, is a concept used in Vedic Astrology, and it refers to the specific constellation the moon is in at the time of your birth. It's a bit more complex than the Western concept of the moon phase.
Here's a quick overview of the 27 Lunar Mansions:
