Baby Gender Predictor

The Chinese Gender Calendar, also known as the Chinese birth chart or Qing Palace chart, is a grid that pairs the mother’s lunar age at conception with the lunar month of conception. Each intersection gives a boy or girl prediction. Its use of lunar dates connects it with the traditional Chinese calendar, rather than the January-to-December calendar used in everyday life.

Popular stories link the chart to China’s Qing imperial court, while another tells of its discovery in a royal tomb near Beijing. These are origin legends rather than an established history of the chart. They form part of a much longer Chinese tradition of trying to predict a baby’s sex before birth.

We use Chinese New Year dates to choose the most likely lunar age for your age and conception month, assuming conception in the current year. Because we do not know your birthday or the exact conception date, it is an estimate. This simplified tool uses the ordinary conception month you select, rather than claiming an exact lunar-month conversion.

Yes, you can use our Chinese gender predictor from age 16 to 44. Simply select your age at conception and the month you conceived. If your estimated lunar age falls outside the traditional chart, we extend it using the nearest age row so you still get a prediction. At every age, it is just for fun.

This tool is just for fun. While the Chinese Gender Calendar has been shared for generations, it is not scientifically proven to predict your baby’s sex.

If you are eager to know your baby’s sex, an ultrasound scan later in pregnancy will give you a much more reliable answer.
