Don't miss this month's new moon! ⬇️
all reckon the first days of their months from the approximate date of the new moon. In the Islamic tradition this is often the first day a crescent moon is visible after a new moon – hence the importance of the crescent moon in Islamic iconography.
In the Islamic calendar, the March new moon is the transition between the months of Shaban and Ramadan. While the new moon occurs on March 21, the first day of Ramadan isn't until March 22, because the Islamic calendar traditionally depended on an actual visual observation of the moon. In the past, the official start of a month could be delayed by cloudy weather preventing such an observation. Many Islamic polities solved this problem by using a tabular calendar .

In the Southern Hemisphere the moon sets first – the sky looks"upside down" from their perspective. From Cape Town, the sun sets at 6:53 p.m. local time, and at that point the moon will be about 7 degrees above the western horizon and Jupiter about a degree above it and to right.
