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)

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon, making it appear dark. Both events involve the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun in a specific way that affects the visibility of the moon from Earth.

Why lunar eclipse occurs on full moon while solar eclipse occurs on new moon day?
It's a matter of shadows. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth, which can only happen when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun; at the NEW moon. A lunar eclipse occurs when the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon, when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon - a full moon. Since the Earth is much bigger than the Moon, the Earth's shadow is also larger; this is why the Moon normally becomes completely shadowed during a lunar eclipse. The Moon's shadow on the Earth is much smaller, so only a small area of the Earth is in the shadow.
What is the differences between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
