How the Chinese gender calendar works

The chart crosses the mother's lunar age at conception with the lunar month of conception. Each cell holds a folk prediction: boy or girl. Most people misread the chart by using their Western age or the calendar month; both must be lunar. This page does the conversion for you.

What is lunar age

Lunar age starts at one on the day you are born, and adds one at each Lunar New Year rather than on your birthday. As a formula: the lunar year of conception minus the lunar year of birth, plus one. It usually runs one or two years ahead of your Western age.

Where the chart comes from

Folklore says the table was kept in the Qing imperial court for consorts, then spread widely. Historians have found no verified source. Its real identity is a piece of popular folk culture, closer to an almanac than to any medical document.

How accurate is it, honestly

Medical researchers have tested the chart against birth records and found it right about half the time, which is what random guessing achieves. If you want to know your baby's sex, ask your doctor at a routine scan. The chart's value is cultural: generations have played with it, and you can too, as long as it stays a game.

FAQ

How does the Chinese gender calendar work?

Find the mother's lunar age on one axis and the lunar month of conception on the other; the crossing cell is the folk prediction. This page converts both from Western dates automatically.

What is my lunar age?

Lunar age starts at one at birth and adds one at each Lunar New Year. It is usually one or two years higher than your Western age. The calculator shows yours after you enter your birth date.

What about leap months?

The common folk rule folds a leap month into its base month, so a leap fourth month reads as the fourth month. The calculator follows the same rule and flags it when it applies.

How accurate is the Chinese gender predictor?

About 50%, the same as a coin flip, according to medical studies that checked it against real birth records. Treat it as tradition and fun, never as guidance.

Can it really tell if I am having a boy or a girl?

No. Only medical checks such as an ultrasound or NIPT can tell you. This page is a folk culture experience, and either answer is good news.

Folk culture experience, not medical advice. Gender prediction has no scientific basis; for entertainment only.
