Which method do you prefer?
There are free programs you can use to calculate your Almutem -- like Morninus. Then there's paid ones like Solar Fire..

Ibn Ezra's calcuations deems the Almutem of my chart Mars, and the Lady of Geniture is Moon.
Is yours accurate?

Benjamin Dykes (great student of Zoller) says about Almutem Figuris:
"Almutem Figuris, a powerful planet in the natal figure whose spirit or angel acts as the native's special link to the Divine. The Almutem Figuris is a spiritual astrological delineation, similar to but not the same as Lilly's the "Lord of the Geniture." But like Lilly (and Plato), the Almutem Figuris was taken to affect the native's thoughts, beliefs and character. Spiritual enlightenment can demand that we open our eyes to this particular planet and use it to access the Divine. Significantly, this is a function that many modern astrologers now attribute to the sun sign." (In his article on Happiness).
The method of calculation
1. Find the Essential Dignities (the 5 dignities, apply 3 points to all 3 triplicity rulers), in the Degree of the:
- Sun
- Moon
- Ascendant
- Part of Fortune
- Syzygy (the prenatal lunation, the one that came last, i.e. after which the birth follows - New or Full Moon).
2. Add 7 points for the Day ruler and 6 points to the Hour ruler.
3. Add accidental dignities scores.
For the planet in 1st house you add 12 points.
10th house = 11 points
7th house = 10
4th house = 9
11th = 8
5th = 7
2nd = 6
9th = 5
8th = 4
3rd = 3
12th = 2
6th = 1
The planet which has most points in the aforesaid places is the Almutem Figuris of the chart!
Don't forget to apply the 5 degrees ruler for the planet near the cusp of the houses. For example, if Saturn is at 15 Scorpio in 4th, but the 5th house cusp is at 19 Scorpio, you will calculate that Saturn already in the 5th, and you will give him 7 points instead of 9 as he would took if he was in 4th house. This can make big difference.
The free traditional astrology software - Morinus (google it), calcualte the Almutem Figuris. You can find this option by typing F3. But I should warn you that in that calculation is included some adding of points according to the planets phases. Zoller did not mention any kind of phases calculation so at this moment I'm not aware why the author of the software did included that.
But the best way and more enjoyable is to calculate it with your own hand. You will be familiar with the chart more deeply if you do this calculations with your own hand as the older astrologers did.
And if you must use the Morinus software than subtract the phases scores and you will get the Almutem Figuris right. All else is the same calculation as the Ezra/Zoller method.
Zoller gives short discriptions for every planet being Almutem Figuris:
Sun:
"If the Almuten figuris is the Sun, the native will want to lead, express his creative power and be recognized."
Moon:
"If the Moon, s/he will want to care for, be cared for, eat and make love, dream"
Mercury:
"If it is Mercury, s/he will be diligent in the sciences, business and communications"
Venus:
"Id it is Venus s/he will be a lover of beauty, of music, of men and women etc."
Mars:
"If it is Mars, s/he will fight in order to dominate"
Jupiter:
"If it is Jupiter, s/he will philosophize and teach"
Saturn:
"If it is Saturn he will retire from society, investigate hidden things and suffer adversity.""
