The new moon date is the first day of the lunar month. US Eastern Standard Time zone has 13 hours difference from China. US Pacific Standard Time zone has 16 hours difference from China. More than a 50% chance, the first lunar day of the US lunar months will be different from China.

The impact is on the Chinese Baby Gender Calendar for Baby Gender Prediction Chart. It's required to use the Chinese Lunar Calendar to calculate Chinese age and pregnancy lunar month. There is no impact on our Chinese Five Element Astrology application because it doesn't use Chinese Lunar Calendar at all.

But the Chinese Baby Gender Prediction Chart has only 12 months in the column of conception months.
