Giới Thiệu · Indonesian Astrology

Indonesian Astrology is as old as the ancient civilization of Indonesia and this form of astrology continues to remain popular even today. The Javanese Horoscope of a person is determined by superimposing the Indonesian 5-day Pasaran and the Western 7 day week cycle into the 35 day cycle which generates 35 different astrological results that is more commonly known as that person's WETON. The most interesting part of Indonesian astrology is that the WETON CYCLE gets repeated every 35 days and as such the Indonesians have their birthdays every 35 days as well. Apart from knowing their personality and characteristic traits, it is the belief of the Javanese people that their WETON discloses everything about their past, present as well as their future. Also known as Balinese astrology, the Javanese people determine their horoscopes and zodiac based on the date of birth of an individual and how that particular day fits into the 35-day cycle formed by superimposing the traditional i.e. the Indonesian 5-day pasaran (weekdays) and the Western weekdays that are 7 in number. The traditional five day Pasaran are: Legi, Pahing, Pon, Wage and Kliwon and the seven weekdays as per Western calendar are named as follows: Sunday - Minggu, Monday - Senin, Tuesday- Selasa, Wednesday - Rabu, Thursday - Kemis, Friday - Jumat and Saturday - Sabtu.
