The Chinese Gender Predictor is an ancient chart said to predict your baby's sex based on the mother's lunar age at conception and the lunar month of conception. Dating back hundreds of years, it remains one of the most popular fun gender prediction traditions among expectant parents — though it has no scientific backing and is purely for entertainment.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Chinese Gender Predictor work?
It uses the mother's Chinese lunar age at the time of conception and the lunar month of conception to look up a prediction on the ancient Chinese birth chart. The result is either boy or girl. Our calculator converts your dates to the lunar calendar automatically.
Is the Chinese Gender Predictor accurate?
There is no scientific evidence that the Chinese Gender Predictor is more accurate than chance (50/50). It is a fun traditional method passed down through generations, not a medical tool. The only reliable way to find out your baby's sex is through an ultrasound scan or genetic testing.
What is my Chinese lunar age?
Your Chinese lunar age is typically one or two years older than your Western age. It counts from the moment of conception rather than birth, and factors in the Chinese New Year. Our predictor calculates your lunar age automatically based on your date of birth.
Can I use this to plan the sex of my baby?
The Chinese Gender Predictor has no proven ability to predict or influence baby's sex. It is purely for entertainment. If sex selection is a medical need, speak with a fertility specialist about evidence-based options.
