Strength of the lord
Rahu is uccha in Gemini (Mithuna) and neecha in Sagittarius (Dhanu). Two key points fall here. The Sun's deepest neecha point, 10° Libra (Tula), sits inside Swati, and a Sun there can make bosses or government hard to deal with. Saturn's deepest uccha point, 20° Libra (Tula), falls right where Swati ends, so a Saturn in late Swati is very strong for steady, lasting success.
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.
