How to celebrate birthdays during the leap month of the lunar calendar?

For people born in a leap month of the lunar calendar, their birthdays are usually celebrated according to the new calendar, or the leap month is celebrated as an ordinary month (for example, people born in leap April will celebrate their birthdays according to the fourth or fifth lunar month).
The leap month is an extra month in a leap year, which is added to coordinate the contradiction between the tropical year and the lunar year and to prevent the lunar year and the tropical year, that is, the four seasons, from being out of sync. Generally, a leap year occurs every 2 to 3 years, but the leap months in each leap year are not the same month, so two identical leap months usually occur once every 10 to 20 years (for example, a leap April usually occurs every 8 or 11 years, and a leap June usually occurs every 19 years).
The leap months closest to 2021 are April 2020 and February 2023. The next leap April will be in 2058, and the next leap February will be in 2042.

How to calculate the leap month in the lunar calendar?

The lunar calendar is a lunar and solar calendar, a calendar that is the result of coordination between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. In order to coordinate the time difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, the leap month in the lunar calendar is set. Although a leap month occurs every 2 to 3 years, the same leap month usually occurs every ten years or even longer.
The current method of adding leap months to the lunar calendar is "seven leap months in nineteen years", that is, every two to three years, a lunar month that is the same as the previous month must be added. The added month is called a leap month. The rules for intercalation are based on the twenty-four solar terms associated with the tropical year of the solar calendar. A tropical year is divided into 24 solar terms. If the 24 solar terms are arranged from the Beginning of Spring to the Great Cold, then the odd-numbered ones are called solar terms and the even-numbered ones are called Zhongqi. The lunar calendar uses 12 solar terms to represent the 12 months of the year. The average interval between each solar term is nearly one day longer than a lunar new and full moon. If this continues, there will always be a phenomenon where the solar term is at the end of the month, and then the next month will inevitably have no solar term but only the solar terms (that is, the next solar term will be at the beginning of the second lunar month). Therefore, the lunar month without the solar term is called the leap month of the previous month.
