The explanation of the difference between the Chinese Astronomical Calendar and the Civil Calendar is in the Chinese Lunar Leap Month page. Basically, the Civil Calendar is posted by the government. The calendar data is from the prediction based on the data collected from previous years. The Astronomical Calendar is used by astronomers who work for government. The astronomical data is from the observation.

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 50% chance, the first lunar day of the US lunar months will be different from China. If the lunar leap month appears in the year, it's possible that the lunar months after leap month will be shift off one month.

The impact is on the Chinese Baby Gender Calendar for Baby Gender Prediction Chart. It's required to use 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.
