Chinese Lunar Month

There are12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days (an astronomical lunar month is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 5 seconds) in Chinese Lunar Calendar. The new moon is where Chinese based their first day of each month. The full moon is usually scheduled on the 15th day of the month using a typical calendar that we use, but often doesn’t.

Chinese Lunar Age

The Chinese Lunar New Year does not begin on the 1st of January. Rather, it happens between January 22 and February 22. Chinese people usually count their age beginning from their date of birth and when they are born they are already one year old. The usual child that celebrates his/her 1st birthday is actually the 2nd lunar age of a Chinese baby. Every Chinese lunar New Year which will you transverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth is.

A sample situation:
The woman wants to find out her Chinese lunar age in the year 2010. If the woman was born on or after February 22 (after the Chinese New Year), 1970 then her Chinese lunar age is simply +1 = 41 years old.

However, if the woman was born before February 22, 1970 then her lunar age is 2010 ? 1969 + 1 = 42 years old.
