This your answer This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant "fixed" stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon) ... Our Moon's period of rotation matches the time of revolution around Earth.
