As Javanese people, you must have heard the term weton. However, not everyone knows the deeper meaning of weton. Usually, people only refer to weton as a date of birth. Meanwhile, according to the Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), the understanding of weton is the date of birth of a person with its market day (Legi, Paing, Pon, Wage, Kliwon).
Furthermore, in Javanese culture, weton is not just a date of birth. Weton is a calendar or calculation of a person's date of birth that is often used as a reference for certain predictions. According to Javanese beliefs, weton can be related to certain event predictions. These predictions are studied through a cycle of days in the traditional calendar.

As previously explained, the meaning of weton is not only considered as the day of birth. Through a certain calculation formula, weton functions as a form of prediction. Here are some functions of weton that are believed in Javanese culture.
1. Calculating the Compatibility of Prospective Bride and Groom
To determine the compatibility of prospective bride and groom, the neptu numbers of each person's birth date are added together. The remainder of the calculation determines whether the couple is good or not.
2. Knowing Someone's Personality and Behavior
In Javanese culture, weton is also believed as a way to recognize someone's character or personality. This can be done by someone who has studied the traditional calendar rotation.
3. Avoiding Misfortune
As an effort to avoid misfortune in Javanese culture, people are encouraged to fast on their birthday. Besides commemorating weton, this fast is also done to always obtain safety.
4. Always Achieving Success
In Javanese culture, there is an event called selamatan. Selamatan held on someone's weton anniversary is also believed as an effort to always achieve success in the future. In addition, this selamatan can be considered as a form of gratitude.

In addition to understanding the meaning of weton, you also need to know how to calculate it. This calculation needs to be done before you find out about the compatibility of the bride and groom or someone's character.
Weton itself consists of days (7 days) and pasaran dino (5 days). In the Javanese calendar, a week consists of seven days which are added to the Javanese pasaran day. The Javanese pasaran day consists of five days, namely Legi, Pahing, Pon Wage, and Kliwon.
However, before that, you need to know that calculating weton cannot be done carelessly. This means that you must really understand the Javanese calendar first. Therefore, weton calculations are usually entrusted to elders who are considered to have enough knowledge to do it.
The first thing to do is to know your birth day and pasaran. As explained above, weton is a combination of one of the seven days in a week and the Javanese pasaran day, namely Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage, and Kliwon.
This rotation (weton) repeats every 35 days, which is 7x5 days, so according to Javanese calculations, the birth day will repeat every five weeks. And each of the birth days has its own influence in determining traits, character, and also "fate".
Calculation of pasaran day:
Sunday: 5
Monday: 4
Tuesday: 3
Wednesday: 7
Thursday: 8
Friday: 6
Saturday: 9
Legi: 5
Pahing: 9
Pon: 7
Wage: 4
Kliwon: 8
