Looks up the mother’s lunar age and the lunar month of conception.
How it works
Your dates are converted to the Chinese lunar calendar. Lunar age counts you as 1 at birth and adds a year at each Lunar New Year. The chart then gives boy or girl for that age and month.
Good to know
Stories say the chart is centuries old, but none has been verified. Published versions of the chart differ in places, and studies that tested it found it no better than a coin toss. The chart covers lunar ages 18 to 45. If conception falls in a leap month, days 1 to 14 count as the earlier month and later days as the next one, a modern convention rather than a verified rule.
