How to Find Your Weton: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide
By Ratri Jawanes·March 25, 2026
What You Will Need
To find your weton, you need only one thing: your complete birth date (day, month, and year). The rest can be calculated using the Javanese calendar system.
Step 1: Identify Your Birth Day of the Week
Your weton begins with the day of the week on which you were born. This is your Gregorian day — Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and so on.
If you are not sure which day of the week you were born, any birth calendar tool or the Kejawen Times weton calculator can tell you instantly.
Step 2: Identify Your Pasaran
The pasaran is the five-day Javanese cycle that runs simultaneously with the seven-day week. The five pasaran are: Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage, Kliwon.
Because this cycle runs continuously and does not reset at the start of each Gregorian week, you need a reference point or a calculator to identify which pasaran falls on your birth date.
The Kejawen Times weton calculator does this automatically — simply enter your full birth date.
Step 3: Find Your Neptu Values
Each day and pasaran has a neptu (numerical value):
| Day | Neptu | Pasaran | Neptu | |-----|-------|---------|-------| | Sunday | 5 | Legi | 5 | | Monday | 4 | Pahing | 9 | | Tuesday | 3 | Pon | 7 | | Wednesday | 7 | Wage | 4 | | Thursday | 8 | Kliwon | 8 | | Friday | 6 | | | | Saturday | 9 | | |
Step 4: Add the Two Neptu Values
Add your birth day neptu to your pasaran neptu. The result is your total weton neptu.
Example: If you were born on a Wednesday (neptu 7) + Kliwon (neptu 8), your total weton neptu is 15.
Step 5: Explore What Your Weton Means
Once you have your weton, you can:
- Read about the personality tendencies associated with your pasaran
- Explore what your total neptu suggests about your life energy
- Learn which days may be most favorable for important actions
- Discover your general strengths and areas for growth
Using the Kejawen Times Calculator
The easiest way to find your weton is to use the Kejawen Times weton calculator. Just enter your birth date and the calculator will instantly show your weton combination, neptu total, and personality overview.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't know the exact day I was born?
If you know the date (day, month, year), the day of the week can be calculated. Without at least the date, the weton cannot be determined precisely.
Does my weton change if I don't know my birth time?
Weton is based on the date, not the time of birth. Unlike some astrological systems, you do not need your birth time.
How often does each weton combination repeat?
Since the seven-day week and five-day pasaran cycle combine, any specific weton combination repeats every 35 days (7 × 5 = 35).
