I have no idea how to look at a chart and be able to tell, but what is my planetary dominant?

My chart is here:

Thank you!
Ours being primarily a learning forum, then here's one method of determining the traditional Alumutem Figuris

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) ....'



By the way, the five dignities are as follows :smile:

Sign or Domicile
Exaltation
Triplicity
Term
Face

To find the Dignities of each planet, read the Dignities Table and note that the column headings are as follows
:

Sign = Sign Ruler aka Domicile Ruler

Houses of the Planets = Night or Day Ruler

Exaltation = Exaltation Ruler

Triplicity = Triplicity Ruler
... each Sign has three Triplicity Rulers... One is the Day Triplicity Ruler, one is the Night Triplicity Ruler and the Third is the Participating Triplicity Ruler

Terms of Planets = Term Ruler

Faces of Planets = Face Ruler



Lilly assigns 3 points for Triplicity Ruler and here's

PLANET

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!......'

From my perspective the dominant (for me this means-most significant or important) planets in the natal chart are:
-Saturn (because it is lord of the ascending sign and also degree lord of the ascending degree)
-Moon (because it is the most elevated planet in the chart, nearest the midheaven)
-Neptune (because it is atmakaraka of the chart, ie the most symbolically significant planet in the chart)
SO: Saturn+Moon+Neptune
