Frequently Asked Questions
What is an almuten? ›
It comes from the Arabic al-mubtazz, "the victor". In traditional astrology the almuten is the strongest, most authoritative planet in the chart; reading the chart starts with it.
How is the almuten determined? ›
The strength of each planet is weighed at the key points of the chart; the planet with the highest score is the almuten. The score table shows which points the result comes from.
Why can different calculators give different almutens? ›
There is no single way to calculate it. Traditional sources differ on which points to count, how to measure a planet's strength and which house system to use, so different programs can give different results.
Why is a birth time required? ›
The Ascendant, the houses and whether the chart is a day or night chart all depend on the birth time; in some charts even a few minutes change the result. Without a birth time the tool does not calculate.
