You cannot see the new moon phase because the moon always rises after sunrise and sets before sunset during the new moon phase. The brightness of the sun and the nearness of the new moon to the sun in the sky combine to make it difficult to see the new moon phase.
Comment. That's not quite right. At the New Moon phase the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. (Usually the alignment is not exact because the Moon's orbit is tilted a bit compared with the Earth's orbit.) You can't see the Moon because there's no sunlight on the side facing the Earth at New Moon.

When the sky is totally dark an you cannot see the moon?
Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."

Why is it impossible to see a new moon?
When the Moon is "new", it is very near to the Sun in the sky, and the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing AWAY from the Earth.
