Since the phases repeat in a complete cycle every 29.53 days, you're free to consider
the 'first' phase to be any point in the cycle you want it to be.
Most cultures, ancient and modern, that take note of the moon at all, consider the beginning
of the cycle to be the time when the moon can't be seen at all, known as "New Moon".
