Controlling the earth's tides.
The New Moon is actually just a phase Luna (Earths moon) goes through.
The phase of the Earth's satellite, the Moon, changes as it orbits the Earth. The primary phases are new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. These phases are determined by the position of the Moon relative to the Earth and the Sun.
The moon doesn't predict anything, but scientists do and the gravitational pull of the moon , sun, and the earth determines tidal movements.

The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards the new moon phase.

For the moon to get back to exactly the right phase, it takes a little longer than its sidereal orbit period, it takes 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes in total from full moon to the next full moon. This is known as the synodic period. It takes a little longer to go from phase to phase due to the earths progression around the sun in that time.
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
