The Dhanu Moon
Dhanu, ruled by Jupiter, is optimistic, honest and idealistic. A Dhanu Moon is drawn to faith, learning, travel and big ideas, and needs freedom to be happy. Its people inspire others. Their care is tact: the arrow of truth can wound.
Your rasi is the sign the Moon occupied at birth. The Lagna and the rest of the chart shape how it shows up in you.

Bhakoot, worth 7 of the 36 gunas, looks at the distance between the two Moon signs. For Dhanu, a partner in Vrishabha or Karka is in a 6/8 relationship, Mesha or Simha 5/9, and Makara or Vrischika 2/12: these give Bhakoot dosha unless the two Moon-sign lords are the same or friends. Any other sign scores the full 7 points.
