As others have said, the waxing moon is when it will be growing. So it would be after the next new moon. The next new moon is May 3rd at 6:51:48. So, it will be waxing at 6:51:49 until the next full moon on May 17th at11:09:43.

Waxing is an ancient term for growing. SO the waxing moon is when it is increasing the amount of moon lit up. It starts as soon as the new moon is over and continues until the moon is full.
After that it is called a waning moon. waning means decreasing.
Date new moon ends someone else can tell you

The Moon "waxes" for about 2 weeks then "wanes" for about 2 weeks. Waxing means more of the Moon's near side becomes visible to us. The next waxing period is from May 3rd to May 17th.

The time period between new moon and full moon is waxing moon... The other phase is called waning moon.
