Javanese Astrology - Frequently Asked Questions
What is Javanese astrology?
Javanese astrology blends the seven-day week with a five-day market cycle called Pasaran. This creates 35 Weton combinations that shape personality, timing, and life decisions. It also works with the 30-week Pawukon cycle (Wuku), each guided by a divine figure (Betara/Bethari).
What is Weton?
Weton is the pairing of your weekday and your Pasaran day (e.g., “Tuesday Pon”). Each has a numeric value called Neptu; the sum is used in traditional calculations related to character, fortune, compatibility, and life events.
What is Wuku and how is it different from Weton?
Wuku is one of the 30 weeks in the Pawukon cycle; each carries a distinct spiritual tone and guardian deity. Weton describes your personal day signature, while Wuku describes the week’s ambient energy.
How do I calculate my Weton?
Find your weekday and your Pasaran day for your date of birth, then add their Neptu values. The result is your Weton number. You can read stories and interpretations in Weton Story.
Is Javanese astrology the same as the Western zodiac?
No. Western astrology uses the twelve zodiac signs based on the Sun’s position. Javanese astrology uses Weton (weekday + Pasaran) and Pawukon (30 Wuku). They can complement each other but they are different systems.
What does “Ky Tutur’s Message” mean?
“Ky Tutur’s Message” is concise cultural guidance inspired by Javanese wisdom. It translates Weton + Wuku energy into practical advice for the day, written in clear language for global readers.
When does a Javanese day start?
In many traditions, the Javanese day changes at sunset. For consistency, we follow one convention across our content; interpretations may vary by region or family practice.
Can I check relationship compatibility using Weton?
Yes. Traditionally, families compare two people’s Weton and Neptu sums to read potential harmony and lessons. For narrative examples, see Weton Story.
Is Javanese astrology deterministic?
No. It is a cultural compass, not a rigid rule. Treat it as reflective guidance to align intention, timing, and character - your choices still lead.
