Dates from 1900-01-31 to 2101-01-28 are supported. Nothing you type leaves your browser The whole calculation runs on this page.

Lunar months of 2026

The gender chart’s columns are lunar months, not January to December. This table converts them: find your conception date in the date range, and the lunar month number in that row is the column you read on the chart.

Your lunar age in 2026

Everyone gains a lunar year on Chinese New Year, not on their birthday. So for a conception on or after 17 February 2026, your lunar age is one higher than it was the day before. If you conceived in January or early February 2026, before New Year, you are still counted in the previous lunar year, and you will land on a different row of the chart entirely.

The calculator above applies that cutoff automatically, which is the single most common thing other Chinese gender calculators get wrong.

The chart itself

The chart does not change from year to year, only the dates that map onto its columns do. Here it is in full.
