About the Chinese Lunar Calendar Converter
Knowing your exact date of birth on the Chinese Lunar Calendar is essential for determining your true Chinese Zodiac sign and calculating astrological BaZi. The Chinese Lunar Calendar Converter seamlessly translates any Western Gregorian date into the traditional agricultural calendar (Nongli) used in China, Taiwan, and many East Asian diaspora communities.
Plan ahead for the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival), Mid-Autumn Festival, or find your traditional lunar birthday instantly for free online. The tool correctly handles leap months (intercalary months) which happen periodically to keep the lunar calendar in sync with the solar year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Chinese calendar purely lunar?
No, it is technically lunisolar. It tracks the moon's phases for months, but because 12 lunar months are shorter than a solar year, it inserts a leap month every 2 to 3 years to stay aligned with the solar year and the seasons.
Why do my Chinese Zodiac signs change?
The Zodiac sign depends on the Lunar New Year, which usually falls between late January and mid-February. If you were born in early January, you belong to the Zodiac animal of the previous Gregorian year. Our tool automatically calculates this for you.
What is a Leap Month (Runyue)?
When the calendar falls too far behind the solar cycle, an entire month is duplicated. For example, there might be two "4th months" in a single year. Our tool will correctly identify if your date falls in a leap month.
