Ah, during a new moon phase, the illuminated side of the moon is facing away from Earth, so we can't see it from here. But don't worry, just like how trees need some time to grow before they bear beautiful blossoms, the moon will start to show its glow as it moves through its phases. Everything has its time to shine, friend.
