In normal circumstances this means that there will be no moon visible at night (because it is in the day side sky) - and the next sighting of the moon will be as a 'new moon' crescent.

Also in certain rare alignments the shadow of the moon can fall on the earth causing an eclipse of the sun. (The moon does not orbit the earth quite in the plane of the ecliptic thus the shadow rarely falls on the earth)
