ABOUT

Wuku Tolu takes its name from Raden Tolu, the third child of Prabu Watugunung and Dewi Sinta, and the twin of Raden Gumbreg. The essence of this wuku reflects the steadfastness and power associated with Batara Bayu.

NOTE: It is important to recognize that the wuku topic and the symbols mentioned in this post represent a blend of Javanese and Balinese beliefs and culture.

Some believe that the wuku exerts a more precise influence on an individual's personality. However, my observations and analysis of characters based on the wuku and other related categories of the Javanese calendar suggest that whether individuals born under a particular wuku will fully exhibit the traits of their protector also hinges on other categorizations determined by their date of birth, time of birth and place of birth.
