The sliver of the crescent New Moon was observed in Israel on the evening of 28 August 2022 just after sunset (read here and here). This makes the first day of the Biblical New Month from sunset as observed from Jerusalem, Israel on 28 August to the sunset on 29 August 2022.
Based on the confirmed observation of the New Moon, below is a calendar that reflects God’s appointed Holy Days (Leviticus 23, Numbers 28-29).
If you question why this is the sixth Month of the Biblical New Year, read this post.
The next New Moon is predicted to be visible in Israel on 27 September 2022, just after sunset. You can review predictive data and illustrative charts on multiple websites, some listed below at:

As stated in Luke 1:26-35:
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
