What Is Javanese Weton?

Weton is a traditional Javanese calendar system that combines the seven-day week with the five-day Javanese market cycle known as Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage, and Kliwon. The combination creates a unique weton associated with a specific neptu value in Javanese culture.

Origin of Weton

The weton system originates from traditional Javanese culture and has been used for generations as part of social, cultural, and ceremonial traditions. It is commonly associated with selecting auspicious dates, marriage compatibility calculations, and various traditional customs.
