Strength of the lord
Ketu is uccha in Sagittarius (Dhanu) and neecha in Gemini (Mithuna). A strong Ketu deepens the pull toward tradition and lineage. Magha lies in Leo (Simha), ruled by the Sun, so a strong Sun also helps Magha people rise.
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.
