In astrology, the planet that has the most powerful influence over a person's chart or life, determined by its position and strength.
From Arabic 'al-muhtazz' or 'al-muhayyaj' (the mighty one). The term entered European astrology through medieval translations of Islamic astrological texts.
Medieval astrology was so sophisticated that astrologers developed mathematical systems to calculate which planet 'ruled' your entire personality—the almuten was basically your astrological 'ruler,' kind of like your zodiac sign on steroids.
