The chart says
Boy
A little Fire Horse
In the Chinese calendar every birth year carries an animal sign and one of five elements. Arriving on November 20, 2026 makes this baby a Fire Horse, and what follows is the classic reading of that sign, the first thing a Chinese grandmother would tell you about them.
The sign · Horse
The Horse child is sunshine with legs: early to run, quick to befriend, allergic to sitting still. Tradition reads the sign as pure vitality, open-hearted and independent, the child other children orbit.
To the ancients a fine horse meant freedom, speed, and victory; "a thousand-li horse" is still the phrase for a rare talent, and the sign governs high noon, when the sun, and the Horse child, are at full strength. Old readings say Horse children are born already halfway out the door.
The element · Fire
Fire is the element of high summer, the crackle in the cycle, and it turns every sign's brightness up. Fire children are read as warm, dramatic, and magnetic, the ones a room arranges itself around; the old texts pair Fire with propriety and light, warmth that draws people in and holds them.
The gift to watch for
Tradition tips them for the wide world: travel, sport, performance, any life with a horizon in it. Tie nothing down, least of all their imagination, and watch how far they go.
Best matched with the Tiger and the Dog
In zodiac tradition the twelve signs form four harmony trios, signs whose temperaments are said to click without effort. These are the friendships, playmates, and, grandmothers note approvingly, future in-laws that come easiest. The Horse's trio-mates are the Tiger and the Dog, worth remembering as cousins and classmates arrive.

Your math, in the open
-
From your due date, conception ≈ February 27, 2026, which falls in the 1st lunar month.
-
Mother's nominal age (the traditional Chinese count) at conception: conception lunar year − birth lunar year + 1 = 37. Lunar years turn over at Chinese New Year, not January 1, and we account for that.

The same birth details unlock the rest of the tradition: the baby's full zodiac profile, the five-elements balance, what their birth year animal pairs well with, all properly sourced the way we do things here. We're building it now. Want to know when it opens?
The honest fine print: the boy-or-girl chart is a tradition, not a test. Across 2.8 million real births it scored about 50 percent, a coin flip (here's the study). The zodiac animal and element, on the other hand, are straight lunar math. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and it is never a tool for choosing.
