New moon, first quarter, full moon and third quarter
The reason eclipses do not occur at every new Moon and every full Moon is that the?
The Moon's orbital plane is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane), so the Sun, the Moon and Earth do not perfectly align every new moon or full moon. We can have an eclipse only if the alignment of the three bodies happens along the intersection of the two orbital planes.

How does the moon effect weather?
The moon does have an effect on Earth's weather, but apparently no one knows for certain how. The moon causes atmosphere tides, just as the moon causes oceanic tides. It appears that you can expect colder temperatures when the moon is full or new due to this effect. When the moon is full or new, it causes a bulge in the atmosphere, just as it causes a bulge in the Earth's oceans. When the moon is full or new, the Earth, Moon and Sun all line up, and the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon act together on the Earth. This effect is especially pronounced when the moon is closest to Earth (at perigee). When the moon is at perigee and when the moon is either full or new, a particularly pronounced drop in temperature can be expected. Right now, the moon is full and at perigee; it is also January, the coldest month of the year. Here in Minnesota, the temperature last night was 28 below 0, Fahrenheit, which is unusually cold, even for Minnesota. While this effect may be noticeable, most meteorologists agree that other atmospheric factors play a greater role in Earth's weather patterns.
