(4) Leap Month Calculation
As
we pointed out at the previous page about " what is lunar calendar", a lunar year is 11 days shorter than
a western year.
Dates in a lunar calendar, therefore, rapidly
move backward through the seasons, so that
a date in summer eventually ends up in winter,
and vice versa. This makes it difficult to
use the calendar to plant crops or schedule
seasonal religious celebrations. This difference
is made up every 19 years by the addition
of seven lunar months. On average, we have
a leap year (with a leap month) about every
three years. The following table shows you
the date of leap months from 1931-2030.

Born
on Leap Month
Based on the usual chinese fortune-telling practice,
people who born on the first 15th days of a
leap month should be counted as born on the
previous month, and people who born on or after
the 16th date of a leap month should be counted
as born on the month followed.
So, if you were born
on 1st June, 1982,
your birth month should be counted as
the 4th lunar month of 1982. On the
other hand, if you were born on 15th
June, 1982, your birth month should
be on the 5th lunar month of 1982.
Conceive on Leap Month
By the same token, if you conceive on the first 15 days of a leap month, then the month of conception should be counted as the previous month, and the rest of the leap month should be counted as the next month. Having said that, there are some chinese fortune tellers argue that the entire leap month should be counted as the previous month. The conclusion is that If you are serious about gender selection, don't
choose to conceive on leap months. |
