Phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the Earth and the revolution of the Earth around the sun. As long as the moon revolves around the Earth as it does, the lunar cycle from full to new to full again will take about 29½ days. We will be having about twelve and a third moon cycles every year until these facts change.
Clarification of terms: the Moon ROTATES around its own axis; it REVOLVES around the Earth. Both things - one rotation and one revolution - take about 27 1/2 days.
