At a New Moon the Moon and the Sun stand at the same degree, here 16°57′ Sagittarius, and the Moon cannot be seen. It opens the Moon's monthly cycle.
Astrology reads a New Moon as a start: a good moment to set an intention in the area of life where it falls.
The sign is Sagittarius: meaning, travel and belief.

The event is one moment for the whole Earth. The page gives it in UTC; in your time zone the date can be a day earlier or later.
