According to Javanese traditions, most Indonesians will consult a Primbon expert before undertaking important decisions in their life. Primbon Jawa, or Javanese Horoscope, originates from ancient philosophy based on dates calculations from 35 star orbits: thus days, months and years are equated to distinct values. The present-day Primbon compilation is based on the work of ten books written over the years by Indonesian astrologists.

In Bahasa Indonesia the weekday names are Minggu/Sunday, Senin/Monday, Selasa/Tuesday, Rabu/Wednesday, Kamis/Thursday, Jumat/Friday and Sabtu/Saturday. The five Javanese Pasaran days are Kliwon, Legi, Paing, Pon and Wage. From this we can find good and bad days before any undertaking on a day-to-day basis.

The magic number is calculated from the HARI which comes from the conventional seven-day week and from the PASARAN, taken from the five-day Javanese week. The combination of these two number-related days is called the NEPTU. A Neptu example is Minggu Legi: Sunday Legi. When the Neptu refers to one's birthday, we call it the WETON.

Primbon can guide you in making career-related decisions, in finding the right life companion and also, for instance, help you determining when you should start building a house. The calculations take leap years into account. Leap years are years that can be divided by 4 and 400 except for years dividable by 100 year.

From Primbon we can find the meaning of our name, our good days, our bad days and about our health in the future. Another instance of using Javanese Primbon is in the calculation of a favorable date to get married. In it not uncommon in Indonesia to know one's Weton but to only have an idea of one's birthdate. From the Weton and the month and year of birth we can find the exact birth date.
