What is the 2026 Chinese Gender Calendar?

The Chinese gender calendar (sometimes called the Chinese baby calendar) is a centuries-old chart that claims to predict whether a baby will be a boy or a girl from the mother's lunar age and the lunar month of conception. The chart itself doesn't change from year to year — the “2026 edition” simply means you're reading it for babies conceived during the 2026 lunar year.

The 2026 lunar year at a glance

  • Lunar year: Year of the Fire Horse.
  • Starts: February 17, 2026 (Lunar New Year).
  • Ends: February 5, 2027.
  • Leap month: the 2026 lunar year has the usual 12 lunar months, so chart lookups map cleanly onto months 1–12.

How to use the chart in 2026

  1. Take the mother's age at conception. Traditionally you add +1 to convert to lunar age — this tool does that for you.
  2. Take the month of conception (1–12). For a strict traditional reading, use the lunar month; most people just use the Western month, which is close enough for folk use.
  3. Find the row for the lunar age, then the column for the month. Boy = 男, girl = 女.

Is the 2026 Chinese gender calendar accurate?

Peer-reviewed studies put the chart's accuracy at roughly 50% — the same as a coin toss. Treat the 2026 prediction as a fun keepsake, not a medical result. For a real answer, an ultrasound around 18–20 weeks or a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) after week 10 is the way to go. Read the full accuracy guide →
