Simple, isn't it? But there are a few things you need to know to use it properly!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comment_fonctionne_le_calendrier_chinois_pour_predire_le_sexe_de_bebe\"><\/span>How does the Chinese calendar work to predict baby's sex?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The principle is quite simple: you look up your lunar age in the first column, then look at the month of conception. The intersection gives you the prediction: girl or boy. Easy to say, but first you have to calculate your <b>age at conception<\/b> according to the Chinese calendar!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calculer_ton_age_lunaire_chinois\"><\/span>Calculate your Chinese lunar age<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike our Western system, the Chinese count age differently. You're already a year old at birth! To calculate your lunar age, you need to add one year to your current age. But beware: if you were born after the Chinese New Year, you may have to add two years.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you're 28 and born in March, your lunar age is probably 29. Chinese New Year generally falls between late January and mid-February, which makes the calculation a little more complicated. To be on the safe side, you can use an online converter!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_mois_de_conception_selon_le_calendrier_lunaire\"><\/span>The month of conception according to the lunar calendar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another important detail: the month of conception must also be calculated according to the lunar calendar. If you conceived your baby at the beginning or end of a month, be sure to check the correspondence with the Chinese calendar. It can completely change the result!<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #efefef;\">\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Lunar age<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Jan<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Feb<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">March<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Apr<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">May<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">June<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">July<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">August<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Seven<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Oct<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Nov<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\">Dec<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\">18<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\">19<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\">20<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">F<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\">G<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>This chart shows you an overview of the Chinese calendar.

But that doesn't mean you can't have fun with it!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temoignages_de_mamans_ca_marche_ou_pas\"><\/span>Testimonials from moms: does it work or not?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On forums for expectant mothers, opinions are divided. Some swear that the calendar correctly predicted the sex of their three children. Others say it was completely wrong for each of their pregnancies \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<p>A mother testifies: \u00abFor my first daughter, the calendar said boy. For my second, a boy, it said girl. So I stopped believing!\u00bb Another says: \u00abIt worked for both my children, I was blown away!\u00bb<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #efefef; color: black; border-radius: 10px; padding: 15px; margin: 20px 0;\"><p>\nNo scientific study confirms the reliability of the Chinese pregnancy calendar, which remains above all a playful tool with an accuracy of around 50%.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quelles_sont_les_erreurs_courantes_avec_le_calendrier_chinois\"><\/span>What are the most common mistakes with the Chinese calendar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many expectant mothers make calculation errors, which completely distort the results. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid when using the Chinese pregnancy chart!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confondre_lage_occidental_et_lage_lunaire\"><\/span>Confusing the Western Age with the Lunar Age<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That's mistake number one! If you use your Western age instead of your Lunar age, the result will probably be wrong. Remember: you need to add a year (or even two, depending on your date of birth) to your current age.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ne_pas_tenir_compte_du_calendrier_lunaire\"><\/span>Ignore the lunar calendar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The month of conception must also be converted according to the lunar calendar. If you conceived your baby at the end of January, for example, you may still be in the lunar month of December. These shifts can completely change the prediction!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cas_des_grossesses_multiples\"><\/span>Multiple pregnancies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Chinese calendar was never designed to predict the sex of twins or triplets. If you're expecting multiples, the chart won't work.

It also incorporates the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac, which recur every 12 years. Each sign has its own characteristics and can influence your child's personality!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Les_signes_et_leurs_traits_de_caractere\"><\/span>Signs and their character traits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Rat<\/b> Intelligent, creative, sociable<\/li>\n<li><b>Buffalo<\/b> Hard-working, patient, reliable<\/li>\n<li><b>Tiger<\/b> Courageous, competitive, confident<\/li>\n<li><b>Rabbit<\/b> : Gentle, elegant, considerate<\/li>\n<li><b>Dragon<\/b> Powerful, lucky, charismatic<\/li>\n<li><b>Snake<\/b> Wise, mysterious, intuitive<\/li>\n<li><b>Horse<\/b> Energetic, independent, adventurous<\/li>\n<li><b>Goat<\/b> Calm, creative, empathetic<\/li>\n<li><b>Monkey<\/b> : Clever, curious, adaptable<\/li>\n<li><b>Rooster<\/b> : Observant, hard-working, courageous<\/li>\n<li><b>Dog<\/b> Loyal, honest, protective<\/li>\n<li><b>Pig<\/b> Generous, optimistic, sociable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your baby will have the sign of the year in which he or she was born.

But Chinese New Year doesn't fall on January 1st! If you were born in January or early February, be sure to check the date of the New Year in your year of birth.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you were born on January 20, 1990, you may still be under the sign of the previous year. Chinese New Year generally falls between January 21 and February 20.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_Huang_Li_choisir_les_jours_favorables\"><\/span>The Huang Li: choosing the right days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to predicting sex, the Chinese calendar also features the Huang Li, or \u00abyellow calendar\u00bb. This age-old tool helps you choose the right days for important events: marriage, moving house, or even conceiving a baby!<\/p>\n<p>According to tradition, some days are better than others for starting a pregnancy. Huang Li takes into account lunar cycles, the elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and the energies of the moment. Super interesting if you want to put all the chances on your side \ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there's no scientific evidence to support this approach, but it's been an integral part of Chinese culture for centuries. And frankly, if it can help you feel better during your pregnancy, why not?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Les_dates_importantes_du_calendrier_chinois\"><\/span>Important dates in the Chinese calendar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chinese New Year is the highlight of the lunar calendar. Unlike our own January 1st, this celebration falls on a different date each year, usually between late January and mid-February. It's the most important holiday in China and the whole of Asia!<\/p>\n<p>Here are the upcoming Chinese New Year dates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>January 29: Year of the Snake<\/li>\n<li>February 17 (following year) : Year of the Horse<\/li>\n<li>February 6 (two years later): Year of the Goat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your baby is born during the Chinese New Year festivities, it's considered very lucky! Chinese traditions attach great importance to this period of renewal and prosperity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calendrier_chinois_vs_echographie_quelle_methode_choisir\"><\/span>Chinese calendar vs. ultrasound: which method to choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let's be clear: ultrasound remains the only 99% reliable method for finding out your baby's sex! Usually performed during the 5th month of pregnancy, a morphological ultrasound shows the fetal genitalia. Of course, certain medical examinations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/en\/health\/peridural-needle\/\">epidural<\/a> can also be considered during your pregnancy to prepare you for childbirth.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese calendar, on the other hand, remains above all a fun and cultural tool. You can have fun making the prediction as soon as you know your conception date, but don't base your clothing purchases on it \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p>Some mums-to-be also use other traditional methods, such as belly shape, food cravings or morning sickness. But here again, nothing scientific! The only real certainty will come from your doctor or midwife.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/calendrier-chinois-2025-prediction-sexe-bebe-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese calendar baby sex prediction chart\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 8px;\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mon_avis_de_coach_sur_le_calendrier_chinois_de_grossesse\"><\/span>My coach's opinion on the Chinese pregnancy calendar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Chinese pregnancy calendar is a fun game to play during your pregnancy. It lets you wait until the ultrasound and creates suspense with those around you! In my experience, I've seen clients for whom it worked perfectly, and others for whom it was totally off the mark.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing is not to take it too seriously. Take advantage of these nine months to prepare yourself physically and mentally for the arrival of your baby, whether boy or girl! In fact, if you're looking to stay in shape during your pregnancy, I recommend gentle activities such as walking, prenatal yoga or swimming. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/en\/nutrition\/dry-power-supply\/\">balanced diet<\/a> during this period is also essential to ensure a healthy pregnancy and the well-being of your baby.<\/p>\n<p>And after giving birth, don't hesitate to get back into sport with the right support. You can also discover technologies such as electrostimulation to tone your perineum and gradually regain your figure. What's more, knowing that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/en\/weight-loss-2\/omega-3-weight-loss\/\">omega-3s can help you lose weight postpartum<\/a> will help you structure your recovery. But that's another story!<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, have fun with this ancestral calendar, share your results with your loved ones, and keep in mind that the most important thing is to have a healthy baby. Girl or boy, it'll be the best gift in the world! \ud83d\udc76<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #FF6600; padding: 20px; color: black; margin-top: 40px; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_frequentes_sur_le_calendrier_chinois_de_grossesse\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions about the Chinese pregnancy calendar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_calendrier_chinois_fonctionne-t-il_pour_les_grossesses_gemellaires\"><\/span>Does the Chinese calendar work for <b>twin pregnancies<\/b> ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>No, the <b>lunar calendar<\/b> Chinese is not designed for <b>twins<\/b> or triplets.
