Question 1

What is a Chinese gender predictor?

Accepted Answer

It is a traditional chart that matches the mother’s lunar age at conception with the lunar month of conception. It gives a playful boy-or-girl guess, not a medical prediction.

Question 2

How do I use the Chinese gender calendar?

Accepted Answer

Enter the mother’s date of birth and an estimated conception date. We find the lunar age and month for you. To read the chart yourself, find the age row and month column; the cell where they meet contains the chart’s guess. Follow the steps for using the chart.

Question 3

How accurate is the Chinese gender calendar?

Accepted Answer

Studies have found that the calendar is no more reliable than chance. Correctly converting your dates helps you read the chart, but it does not make the guess a reliable prediction. Read the accuracy studies.

Question 4

How do I find my lunar age for the chart?

Accepted Answer

Enter your regular date of birth and your estimated conception date above. Traditional lunar age starts at one at birth and increases at each Chinese New Year. It is not always your regular age plus one. Calculate your lunar age separately.

Question 5

How do I find my lunar month of conception?

Accepted Answer

It is the Chinese-calendar month containing your estimated conception date. Lunar months do not line up with January through December. Enter your usual calendar date above, and the calculator finds the lunar month for you. See examples of lunar conception months.

Question 6

What if I only know my due date?

Accepted Answer

Choose Due date above. We estimate conception as 266 days before that date. The chart uses this estimated conception date, not the month your baby is due. For IVF or frozen embryo transfers, you can also determine your exact conception date from your transfer day. Learn how to calculate your conception date.

Question 7

Does the Chinese gender calendar change every year?

Accepted Answer

The chart used here stays the same. The dates of the lunar months change from year to year, and your lunar age can change too. Our yearly calendars help you find the lunar month for a specific conception date. Explore the yearly calendar dates.

Question 8

How do I use the Chinese gender calendar to plan for a boy or girl in 2026 or 2027?

Accepted Answer

To plan ahead, find your lunar age during the target conception year, then check that row across the chart to identify which lunar months correspond to a boy or girl. Enter your birth date in our calculator above to view your personalized 2026 and 2027 conception windows automatically. Read our conception planning guide.

Question 9

What is the baby Chinese zodiac for 2026 and 2027?

Accepted Answer

Babies born between February 17, 2026 and February 5, 2027 belong to the Year of the Fire Horse (Bing Wu). Babies arriving between February 6, 2027 and January 25, 2028 belong to the Year of the Fire Goat (Ding Wei). Babies born before Chinese New Year in either year take the preceding animal sign. Explore 2026 and 2027 zodiac traits.

Question 10

Why do different calculators give different results?

Accepted Answer

Websites may use different chart versions, ways of counting age, conception estimates or leap-month rules. Your result shows the lunar age and month used here, so you can find the matching cell on our chart. See the chart and rules used here.

Question 11

Are my dates saved or shared?

Accepted Answer

No. Your dates and result stay on your device. We do not receive or save them. If you copy your result, the shared text includes no dates.
