Time of birth

The Javanese day changes at sunset, so someone born after sunset takes the weton of the next day. Born after midnight? Enter the new calendar date and choose before sunset.

What is weton?

Weton combines the day of the week with the pasaran, a five-day cycle in the Javanese calendar: Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage, and Kliwon. Together they form 35 repeating combinations.

Each day and pasaran has a value called neptu. Their sum is the basis of many primbon counts, from reading character to compatibility between partners.
