What is the Javanese Weton Calendar?
The Javanese Weton calendar is a tool that helps determine the combination of days in the seven-day calendar with the Javanese market based on a date.
In the Javanese calendar tradition, one weton is a combination of:
- weekdays, such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday; and
- one of the five Javanese markets, namely Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage, and Kliwon.
For example, the weton results can be:
Monday Legi
Friday Kliwon
Wednesday Pon
Thursday Wage
Because there are 7 days and 5 markets, the weton combination forms a cycle that repeats every 35 days.
The Javanese Weton calendar on this page can help you check the combination automatically based on the selected date.
How to Use the Javanese Weton Calendar
Using the online weton calendar is very easy. You don't need to calculate individual days and market dates.
1. Select Date
Enter the date you want to check.
You can use:
- date of birth,
- today's date,
- wedding date,
- specific event date,
- or other Christian dates.
2. Click “Check Weton”
After the date is selected, press the Check Weton.
The tool will calculate the day, Javanese market, weton, and neptu value based on that date.
3. View Weton Results
The results displayed include:
- day,
- Javanese market,
- complete weton,
- neptu day,
- market neptu,
- total neptu,
- previous weton,
- and the next weton.
You can also view the monthly calendar and click on a specific date to find out the market.
How to Check Weton Based on Date of Birth
One of the most common uses of the weton calculator is to check weton based on date of birth.
For example, if someone is born on a specific date, the calendar will first determine the day of the week and then calculate the date's position within the five Javanese market cycles.
The final result is a combination such as:
Friday Legi
In the example:
- Friday is a normal day;
- Legi is the market;
- and Friday Legi is the weton.
With this tool, you simply enter your date of birth to find out the results without having to do manual calculations.
What is the Javanese Market?
The Javanese market is a five-day cycle used in the Javanese calendar tradition.
The five markets are:
Legi
Pahing
Pon
Wage
Kliwon
The market cycle repeats every five days.
When combined with the normal seven-day cycle, a weton combination is formed.
As an example:
Monday Legi
Tuesday Pahing
Wednesday Pon
Thursday Wage
Friday Kliwon
However, the order does not always follow this simple example because the seven-day and five-day cycles run concurrently.
Therefore, using the Javanese market calendar is more practical than calculating manually.
What is Weton in the Javanese Calendar?
In the context of the Javanese calendar, weton is a combination of seven days and market days.
For example:
Wednesday Kliwon
Wednesday is a weekday, while Kliwon is one of the Javanese markets.
In Javanese society, weton is traditionally used in various cultural contexts and calendar recording.
Some people also use it to look up their birth date based on the traditional calendar system.
It's important to note that this calendar's function is to calculate the date's position within the Javanese calendar and market system. Cultural meanings or specific interpretations may vary depending on tradition, family, and source.
Why Does Weton Repeat Every 35 Days?
Weton is formed from two cycles:
- 7 normal days;
- 5 market days.
The same combination will return when the two cycles meet at the same position.
The least common multiple between 7 and 5 is:
35
Therefore, the same weton returns every 35 days.
If today is Monday Legi, then approximately 35 days later the combination will reappear as Monday Legi.
The next weton cycle feature in this tool uses this principle.
What is Neptu Weton?
Neptu weton is a numerical value that is traditionally given to days and markets in Javanese culture.
Each day has a certain neptu value, and each market also has its own value.
Total neptu is obtained by adding:
Daily Neptu + Market Neptu
For example, if someone's weton is Friday Legi:
Friday Neptu = 6
Legi Neptu = 5
So:
6 + 5 = 11
So the total neptu of Friday Legi is 11.
The Javanese weton and neptu calendar tool on this page performs these calculations automatically.
Neptu Value of the Day
In the commonly used weton calculations, the neptu value of the day is as follows:
Day | Neptu |
Sunday | 5 |
Monday | 4 |
Tuesday | 3 |
Wednesday | 7 |
Thursday | 8 |
Friday | 6 |
Saturday | 9 |
This value is used together with the market value to produce the total neptu weton.
Javanese Market Neptu Value
The five Javanese markets also have their own neptu values.
Market | Neptu |
Legi | 5 |
Pahing | 9 |
Pound | 7 |
Wage | 4 |
Kliwon | 8 |
For example, if someone has a weton Monday Pahing:
Monday Neptu = 4
Pahing Neptu = 9
The total is:
13
This calendar will display those values automatically after you select a date.
Example of How to Calculate Neptu Weton
To make it easier to understand, here is a simple example.
Suppose the calendar results show:
Thursday Kliwon
The neptu value is:
Thursday = 8
Kliwon = 8
So the total neptu is:
8 + 8 = 16
With the weton calculator, you don't need to remember all these numbers because the system will immediately display the day's neptu, market neptu, and the total.
Today's Javanese Weton Calendar
If you want to know today's weton, use the "Today" button or see the Today's Weton section in the tool.
The system will take the current date and display:
- name day,
- market,
- today's weton,
- neptu,
- and the next weton cycle.
This feature is useful for users who want to see today's Javanese market without entering the date manually.
Monthly Javanese Market Calendar
Besides checking a single date, this tool also provides a monthly Javanese market calendar.
Each date in the calendar displays its market.
You can select a specific month and year, then see patterns like:
Legi
Pahing
Pon
Wage
Kliwon
on every date.
Click on a date to open complete information about its weton and neptu.
The monthly calendar feature makes the tool more practical if you want to compare several dates at once.
How to Know Today's Javanese Market
To find out today's Javanese market, the calendar needs to calculate the position of the current date in a five-day cycle.
The market order is:
Legi → Pahing → Pon → Wage → Kliwon
After Kliwon, the cycle returns to Legi.
Instead of counting backward or forward from the reference date, you can use the online Java market check on this tool and get results instantly.
Difference between Weton and Pasaran
Weton and pasar are often mentioned together, but they are not the same thing.
The market is only one of the five cycles of the Javanese day:
Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage, or Kliwon.
Meanwhile, weton is a combination of normal days and market days.
As an example:
Kliwon = market
Friday Kliwon = weton
So, if someone asks "What is my weton?", the answer requires a combination of the day and the market, not just the market name.
Differences between the Javanese Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar
The Gregorian calendar is a calendar commonly used for daily activities and consists of the months of January to December.
Meanwhile, the Javanese calendar tradition has additional systems and elements such as pasar and weton.
In this tool, you enter the Gregorian date as a starting point, then the system determines the appropriate Javanese day and market.
This method makes it easier for modern users to convert dates to weton without having to understand all the traditional calendar calculations manually.
What is the 35-Day Weton Cycle?
Since the same weton returns every 35 days, a date has its next weton about five weeks later.
For example, a date has a weton:
Saturday Pon
Then the next 35 days will also be in the combination:
Saturday Pon
Likewise 35 days earlier.
This feature is useful if you want to know when the same weton appears again in the calendar.
Is Weton the Same as Birth Date?
No.
Date of birth is the Gregorian date when a person was born, for example:
March 12, 1995
Meanwhile, weton is a combination of the day and market related to that date.
So from one date of birth, you can get several pieces of information:
Date of birth: March 12, 1995
Day: e.g. Sunday
Market: e.g. Wage
Weton: Sunday Wage
That's why the term weton birth date is often used when someone wants to know their weton based on their date of birth.
Why Use an Online Weton Calculator?
Calculating weton manually requires an understanding of two calendar cycles at once.
You need to know:
- day of a date;
- market position;
- five-day cycle sequence;
- daily neptu value;
- market neptu value.
With the online weton calculator, the entire process is done automatically.
You simply enter the date and the results will appear within seconds.
This is very helpful especially if you want to check old dates or compare multiple dates.
