New Moons are the right time for bringing in the new. Full Moons are the right time for celebrating and reveling in successes.
Each month the New and Full Moons fall in opposing astrological signs, which rule different qualities and aspects of life. You can use these times to work on specific issues, hopes, desires and goals that correspond to the astrological energies of the Moon phase. Connecting with the monthly rhythms of our own internal biological and emotional/intuitive clocks can greatly increase our ability to fulfill dreams and goals.

Here is some interesting information on the "why and how" of planetary influence.
Throughout the month, the movement of the Earth around the Sun and the Moon around the Earth, through the laws of motion and gravitation, influence the tidal ebb and flow in the oceans upon our planet. Similarly, these same laws attract the gases of the atmosphere producing tides in the upper atmosphere, thus giving rise to detectable changes in the Earth's magnetic fields. All these environmental changes can act as external synchronizers of the internal biological clocks that exist within all species of life upon Earth. Many life forms including plants, birds, bees, ocean algaes and fish, have been shown scientifically to exhibit reproductive, migration and navigational behaviors which correspond to the phase transitions of the Moon and the changing daylight patterns of the Sun.

So why not humans?
Our physical bodies are about 70% water. From Chinese Acupuncture we know that humans have a magnetic/energetic body. Both of these "bodies" are acted upon by the same planetary laws of motion and gravitation that our Earth experiences. Humans have highly developed mental and emotional bodies, which I contend, are by extension, also influenced by the motion of the planets, especially that of the Moon, the ruler of our intuitive capabilities, our emotions and needs.
