Strength of the lord
Venus is uccha at 27° Pisces (Meena) and neecha at 27° Virgo (Kanya). A strong Venus helps the arts and public charm of Purva Ashadha. Sagittarius (Dhanu) is ruled by Jupiter, so a strong Jupiter adds wisdom to that charm.
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.
