Chinese Gender Calendar 2028
The 2028 guide explains how Gregorian dates line up with the lunar year that begins on January 26, 2028.
2028 Lunar Year Context
Chinese New Year falls on January 26, 2028, opening the Earth Monkey year. The 2028 lunar year starts in late January, so only the first weeks of Gregorian January remain in the previous lunar year.
This matters because the gender calendar does not use the Gregorian year alone. A date in January or February can belong to a different lunar year than the number printed in the Gregorian date.
Conception Months in 2028
A conception after January 26, 2028 starts in lunar month 1, while late February dates are commonly near the transition toward lunar month 2.
The safest way to use the chart is to convert the exact conception date into its lunar month. Two dates in the same Gregorian month can land in different lunar months if a lunar month boundary falls between them.
Use the Predictor
For a quick lookup, use the free predictor. It calculates traditional lunar age, converts the conception date and applies the chart without saving your dates.
