Strength of the lord
Ketu is uccha in Sagittarius (Dhanu) and neecha in Gemini (Mithuna). A strong Ketu gives sharp insight and healing skill. One strong point sits inside Ashwini itself: the Sun's deepest uccha point is 10° Aries (Mesha). A Sun near there gives leadership and quick recognition at work.
Your nakshatra shows your nature, but the 10th bhava shows your work. The 10th lord's placement and strength shape career growth, and planets in the 10th bhava often point to the field.
