Is a waxing moon before or after a new moon?
The new moon comes first in the phase. It is roughly in the same direction as the sun; therefore the part that faces us is all dark. The moon & sun rise and set at about the same time. Next is waxing moon, when we get to see more of the illuminated half. At first we get a sliver of it, which grows as days go by. The quarter moon follows after waxing moon! ChaCha on!

About New Moon
The New Moon is when the moon is a very thin crescent and is in its waxing phase. In astronomical terms, the new moon is not visible to the eye, as the moon is between the earth and the sun and the dark side is facing the earth.
