The Chinese Lunar Calendar For Baby Gender Selection

The Chinese Lunar Calendar is said to have been around for over 700 years now. Developed by a Chinese Scientist after years of research, many Chinese put a lot of faith in it's results, many Westerners aren't so sure. Whether you put much faith in it or not it can be a lot of fun, so just relax and enjoy it.

First you need to understand how to use it properly, if you don't know much about the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the differences compared to the Gregorian Calendar used in the west.

First you need to know the month of conception, remember conception not birth. Some have mistakenly used the actual birth date and of course this won't give you an accurate result, so be sure you use the month of conception!

The confusing part for most people is figuring the mothers age at conception, this is her age on the Chinese calendar not the Gregorian Calendar used in the west.

Because of the differences in these calendars, the mother should add one year to her age at conception to begin with, and if she conceives after January 29 (the Chinese New Year) she should add another year. Think of the year as starting on January 29th instead of January 1st.

You then simply find the month of conception and the age of the mother using the parameters above, follow the two columns till they intersect and if the square is blue it's a boy baby and if it's pink it's a girl baby.

You, of course, can find out (by way of an ultra-sound) if you will have a boy or girl in your seventh or eighth month, but if nothing else the Chinese Lunar Calendar is fun to try and you can use it on your other children or anyone's children for that matter.

So have some fun with it, and remember you're baby is a gift from above no matter what gender it!
