Al-mu-ten, Al-Mub-tazz
/ˈæl.mjuː.tɛn, æl ˈmʊb.tæz/
The planet that holds the greatest strength, authority, or influence in a given position according to a defined system of measurement.
The Almuten is found by tallying the dignities of planets for a given position (such as a house cusp, degree, or lot). The planet with the greatest strength is considered the Almuten, or “victor.” In medieval astrology, the Almuten signifies the ruling influence over that position and can serve as a key significator in interpretation. Al-Mubtazz is the original Arabic term meaning “the victorious.” This method provides nuance beyond simple domicile rulership.
