Chinese gender chart, lunar age 18–45
Rows are the mother’s lunar age at conception (18–45). Columns are lunar months 1–12. Every cell shows Boy or Girl as text — color is only a helper.

No — the grid is the same every year. What changes is which Gregorian dates fall in each lunar month. Use the 2027 calendar to see this year’s dates.

What is the Chinese gender calendar?
A traditional table, also called the Chinese birth chart or 清宫表, that maps a mother’s lunar age and the lunar month of conception to “Boy” or “Girl”. It is folklore, not a medical test.
Why does the chart start at 18 and stop at 45?
The published chart only covers those lunar ages. For ages outside 18–45 there is no cell to read, and our predictor says so instead of guessing.
Can I print the chart?
Yes. Use “Print / Save as PDF” above the chart; the print layout hides everything except the table and a source line.
Where does the Chinese gender calendar come from?
It is traditionally said to have been kept at the Qing court and later published widely. Several printed versions exist; this page uses the one shared by three independent published copies.
