Ancient Javanese wisdom based on your weton

Every 35 days,
you are born again.

Javanese tradition gives every date two names, one from the seven-day week and one from a five-day market week. The pair on your birth date is a weton that returns every 35 days. It tells so much about you.

In Javanese culture, the day turns at sunset. If you were born in the evening, your time and city decide which weton you belong to.

A mirror,
not a prophecy.

In many Javanese households, weton is counted before big decisions like a wedding or a move. For us, our weton points to a quality you were born leaning into. Where it shines, notice it. Where it casts a shadow, work with it.

The tradition already holds room for this. Here, we treat weton as heritage and watchfulness rather than a rule.

Two weeks, turning together

The fascinating part is the arithmetic calculation underneath. The week you already live by runs alongside a traditional five-day market week. The two only line up every 35 days, so your weton returns about ten times a year.
