Morphology
The meaning 'a period marked by a significant change' follows directly from combining 'new' (recent, different) with 'chapter' (a section or period), so the overall sense is a new section or stage. The figurative use of 'chapter' for life phases is common in everyday English and across many languages, making the expression straightforward for a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
New chapter comes from books: when you finish one chapter and turn the page you start a different part of the story, like a fresh beginning. So calling something a new chapter means 'a new stage in life' after a big change.
