In practice there is no real effect of the phase of the moon on people. It's largely a coincidence that the average menstrual cycle in humans is approximately the same length of time as a complete phase cycle of the moon; if there were a direct relation, it would probably be observed in non-human animals as well (it's not) and women's cycles would be more synchronized worldwide than they are (pretty much "not at all"). The urban legends about new/full moons being when "all the crazies come out" are just that, legends; actual studies have shown no correlation between the phase of the moon and episodes of erratic behavior. (Some people, including hospital/asylum workers, still believe this, but this is largely BECAUSE they believe it; they remember incidences that fit their belief and ignore or forget ones that do not.)
Unless you live on or near a sea coast, in which case the phase of the moon is related to the timing of the tides, or go out at night without a light source, in which case the phase is correlated to how well you can see, the phase of the moon has essentially no impact on you.
