The chart can predict the sex of an unborn baby accurately ONLY when using it correctly.
The original Chinese Birth Chart is believed to have been buried in a tomb near Beijing for almost 700 years and the original is now in the Beijing Institute of Science. Based on the chart, by knowing the month when a baby was conceived, with the age of the mother at conception, the sex of the baby can be determined. For example, if you were 35 years old, at the time of conception and your baby was conceived on the 8th month, the chart predicts you'll have a boy. And if you were 40 years old at the time of conception and your baby was conceived on the 5th month, then the chart predicts you'll have a girl. Simple!?
The accuracy of the Chinese Birth Chart, however is questionable, as many people found the chart generates a wrong outcome. Some people even claim that using the Chinese Birth Chart method to select the gender of a baby is just equal to flipping a coin. The fact is that thousands and thousands of people are still searching the web everyday, and wishing to find out how to use the chart correctly. Then what's the main factor causes wrong predictions? The chart must be used with Chinese Calendar.
Both the mother's age and the month at conception must based on the Chinese (Lunar) calendar. In other words, you need to know how to convert the Western (Gregorian) calendar into the Chinese calendar if you want to get an accurate prediction.
Two more important tips regarding the calculation of lunar age.
1. When a baby is born, he/she is already one year old.
2. All people gain 1 year of age at the Chinese new year.
So, for example, if John was born on January 23, 2006, then he was 2 years of lunar age on February 23, 2006 (because Chinese new year was on January 29, 2006). You can find more information about the lunar age calculationhere. Good luck!
