The Almuten Figuris is not a guardian spirit, destiny lord, or spiritual rank in The Great Almanac's usage. It is a technical chart testimony.

Almuten Figuris matters because it gives a more technical alternative to the simple chart ruler. It may consider the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Lot of Fortune, prenatal syzygy, dignities, and sometimes accidental strength.
