Are you planning for a baby Horse in 2026 or a baby Sheep in 2027? Do you know how to use the Chinese Baby Gender Prediction Chart to choose the next baby's gender? The Chinese Baby Gender Prediction Chart is a cross-reference table between women's ages and conception months for families to choose a baby's gender before pregnancy.

The lunar days in Chinese lunar months are also in their corresponding zodiac months. The following are the new revised Zodiac-Lunar months of 2026. This will help women planning to conceive a baby with the desired gender.

Woman's age is the Chinese age. Woman's Conception Month is the Chinese lunar month. Blue is for boy and pink is for girl in the chart.

The conception months in April and September have a better chance to have a baby boy. May and December have a better chance to conceive a baby girl.

If a woman desires to have a baby boy, she can look for the blue box of the Gender Prediction Chart in April and September columns to determine the conception month using her Chinese age. The next choices for the conception month are August, October, January, February, or November depending on her country. We suggest women choose the conception day from the revised Zodiac-Lunar Months above. If a woman prefers to have a baby girl, then she can try the days in May, June, or December.
