Determining Luck

Neptu in Javanese primbon is used to determine a person's level of luck on a particular day. Neptu provides clues about the energy and natural power associated with each day in the Javanese calendar.

Based on neptu, a person can determine whether that day will bring luck or the opposite. For example, if the neptu on a person's birth day and the neptu on the meeting day are complementary combinations, it is considered a great luck.

Describing Individual Character

In addition to providing clues about luck, neptu also has an influence on a person's characteristics and personality. Each neptu has a special description that describes the traits or characteristics that individuals born on that day tend to have.

For example, individuals with neptu considered strong and tough may have traits such as optimism, perseverance, and high fighting spirit. By knowing neptu, a person can better understand themselves and accept their weaknesses or strengths.

For example, someone with a specific weton and neptu chooses a particular day to do activities such as moving houses. After calculating based on neptu, it can be determined whether that day is considered to bring great luck or the opposite if the event is held on that day.

By paying attention to neptu, someone can avoid any potential risks and seek fortune in every activity they do.

Predicting Compatibility Level of Couples

Neptu is also used in the calculation of matchmaking predictions according to Javanese astrology. The calculation of matchmaking predictions based on neptu is done to determine the compatibility level of luck between two individuals who are in a relationship or planning to get married.
