Many websites have provided the Chinese calendar for conception, however the methodological analysis is inaccurate. Reading the chart for fun is quite alright, but many pregnant women would like to believe its predictions completely. That is why, providing a "fun" calendar would be like taking a risk. The calendar adopts its roots from the Chinese astrology and understanding its basics is the key to interpret the chart. In the following article, we will go over the basics of Chinese astrology and how the calendar is applied to predict the sex of the baby.
Basics of Chinese Astrology
- Perhaps you have heard or read that Chinese zodiac signs are based on 12 different animals: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and boar.
- These 12 zodiac signs represent specific years, on the basis of 12-year rotating cycle. For example, 2010 is the "Year of the Tiger".
- Chinese astrology follows moon signs, and lunar-based year system.
- Although in western cultures, the solar year system is followed and it provides some insights, it won't be as accurate as the lunar year and age.
- For example, if you were born in December or January, the lunar age will differ from the solar age.
- Depending on which animal sign you are, you can understand your character analysis more deeply.
- To interpret the conception calendar, you need to calculate your exact lunar age.
- Follow these instructions to calculate: if your birth date falls between January 1 and February 20 (add both these dates in your calculations as well), then you will use your current age.
- Now if your birth date falls between February 21 and December 21 (add both these dates in your calculations as well), then you will add 1 year to your current age.
- Now comes the part where you figure out which month you conceived the baby, according to the lunar-based month.
- Once you have both the numbers, you can get about 90% accuracy of this calendar. You can go to the conception table provided below and predict the sex of the unborn baby.

In the mother's "age of conception" rows, go across to the exact "month of conception" column to find out the predicted gender of your unborn child according to the Chinese lunar calendar. For example, a pregnant woman who conceived her baby in the month of November when she was 29 years old will have a baby girl. The same goes for you or any other pregnant woman you know, just plug the numbers in and find the gender where the age and month intersect on the Chinese conception calendar.
