In a lunar calendar, the month always begins at the new moon, and dates always occur on the same phase of the Moon. A purely lunar calendar (such as the Islamic calendar) does not synchronize with the solar year at all. A luni-solar calendar such as the Hebrew calendar is primarily tied to the Moon, but also adds "leap months" periodically to maintain a rough match with the solar year.
