You can refer to the islamic calendar here insha'Allaah:

The month of Ramadhaan is when the fasting starts, as an obligation insha'Allaah.
Allaah Almighty knows best.
Peace.

Errr...its not Ramadan for another 2 weeks. And its not a full moon when its the 1st of Ramadan. Its a crescent at the beginning of the month, and a full moon in the middle of the month. :)
Most probably the fasting you're hearing about is for the 15th Shaban, which is not required, rather saying it is required is bid'ah.

Ramadan relates to the moon phases, similar to Easter and Lent. Perhaps there is a connection there??:?

Woah woah woah slow down! What taraweeh u ppl on about?! Its not ramadan yet! This fast that ur talking about is Nafl and is not Sunnah, meaning it is not compulsary to keep it.

But thats not right..! Taraweeh is only for Ramadan! If I'm mistaken someone correct me with reference from Qur'an/Hadith...Jazakallah.

Erm...nooo, the prayer is not Taraweeh! Taraweeh is only prayed in Ramadan. Its Salat at Tasbih you're hearing about... :? I'm not sure why they pray it on the 15th of Sha'ban, and as far as I've heard, its bid'ah. :?

Hi
not only Ramadhan but the whole muslim calender is based on the moon not the sun.

I didn't know that ... thanks. :)
Can you tell me why the moonphases are important? It seems to have a pagan ring to it ...

Allaah Almighty knows best, but i think that the cycle of the moon is equal to a months time span - i.e. 29 or 30 days. Remember that the arabs at that time were an ignorant nation so they never had calendars. Therefore they depended on the mooncycle.
Peace.
