Strength of the lord

Jupiter is uccha at 5° Cancer (Karka) and neecha at 5° Capricorn (Makara). A strong Jupiter helps law, teaching and leadership. Also, the Moon's deepest neecha point, 3° Scorpio (Vrischika), falls in Vishakha's 4th pada. A Moon there can bring worry and changing career moods, unless other planets support it.

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.
