query: What astrological factors contribute to someone becoming a high-ranking government official?
answer: According to the text, the Dharma Karmadhipati yoga, formed by a relationship between the lords of the 9th and 10th houses (related to dharma and karma/occupation), can lead to high government positions.  A strong 9th house lord (in own sign or exaltation) in conjunction with the 10th house lord in a kendra or trikona is another contributing factor.  An exchange of signs between the lords of the 9th and 10th houses can also contribute.
