This legend about the Moon is intended to explain the apparent anomaly that the Moon was already about two days old at the time of her first conjunction with the Sun.
Irv adds: I also have a similar list of bulleted points in the following section of my web page about the Moon, molad and Hebrew calendar, which looks at the traditional derivation of the epoch moment for the molad:
The discussion first explains how to calculate traditional molad moments, and after that you will find the bulleted list that I am referring to. (Much of the same information appears in the "Rambam and the Seasons" web page that I previously referred you to, but the way that it is organized at the above cited section, with a specific focus on the molad, may perhaps be more helpful to you.)
