How the Chinese Gender Calendar Works
Understand the traditional lunar chart and how to use it.
Learn lunar age calculation, conception month mapping, and its limitations.
Core Principles
Lunar Age
The chart uses maternal lunar age, which may differ from the Western age. In many traditions, lunar age starts at one and increments at lunar new year.
Conception Month
The month used is the conception month aligned to the lunar calendar. The chart highlights the predicted outcome for the intersection of lunar age and conception month.
Traditional Mapping
The calendar is a traditional reference table, not a medical diagnostic. Different sources may show minor variations across years or versions.
How to Use
1) Determine the mother’s lunar age for the year.
2) Identify the conception month based on the lunar calendar.
3) Find the intersection in the chart to see the traditional prediction.
Accuracy and Limitations
The chart is for cultural reference only and does not guarantee outcomes. Biological sex determination depends on genetics and medical factors. Use responsibly for entertainment or tradition.
When different sources disagree, choose the one consistent with your local tradition or consult multiple references.
