The 2025 poster makes the chart easy to save, but the matrix is the same one used in every other year. Only the Gregorian-to-Chinese date mapping changes.

  1. 01

    Find the lunar month

    Use the date table above. Month 1 means the first Chinese calendar month—not January.

  2. 02

    Find the lunar age

    Use the mother’s traditional age at conception, not her Western age. Our lunar age calculator can find it for you.

  3. 03

    Read the intersection

    Choose the lunar-age row and lunar-month column. The cell contains the traditional Boy or Girl label.

Early-year conceptions need particular care because January dates still belong to the previous lunar year. Leap sixth month uses the Month 6 chart column under our stated convention. Read more about chart versions and leap months or how the calculation works.

Beyond the chart

The 2025 Chinese calendar year

Chinese New Year sets the annual boundary. Zodiac and year-pillar traditions add cultural context, but they do not affect the gender-chart lookup.

Year of the Snake

A little zodiac context.

The Snake carries meanings of wisdom, renewal, and transformation. Folk portraits often emphasize observation and self-possession.

A moving New Year

Chinese New Year around 2025

The date moves because a lunar year is shorter than a Gregorian year. Leap months periodically bring it back toward the seasons.

202617 February 2026Horse丙午
20276 February 2027Goat丁未

Chinese New Year 2025 falls on January 29, early in the usual range. The year also includes a leap sixth month, so the annual table has thirteen month ranges rather than twelve.

Use the calendar with perspective

A tradition to explore, not a medical answer.

Annual date ranges can help you understand the folklore lookup, but they cannot make conception timing a method of choosing a baby’s biological sex.

Real conception and due dates are estimates. A date near a lunar-month or Chinese New Year boundary can change the chart row or column, which is why the calculator displays the converted values. If the estimated date is uncertain, treat the result as even more tentative.

See the research on chart accuracy, and speak with a qualified healthcare professional for reliable information about pregnancy or fetal sex.

Year-specific questions

2025 calendar FAQ

No. The Chinese Gender Calendar age-and-month matrix stays the same. What changes each year is the correspondence between Gregorian dates and Chinese calendar months.

It begins on 29 January 2025. Dates earlier in Gregorian 2025 still belong to the previous Chinese calendar year.

Does 2025 have a leap month?
