How many gunas do Dhanu and Makar get?
A rashi pair does not have a single guna score. Four of the eight kootas — Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot — are fixed by the two rashis; the other four — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — depend on each person's birth nakshatra. Each rashi spans nine nakshatra padas, so we ran all 162 Dhanu–Makar combinations through the same engine our kundli matching uses. This is the result.

Weighing how each Moon-sign ruler regards the other, the planetary-friendship koota (Graha Maitri) scores Jupiter and Saturn 3 of 5 — a middle score that leaves the dynamic shaped by personal choice.

Planetary Analysis
Dhanu is ruled by Jupiter and Makar by Saturn. Graha Maitri, the planetary-friendship koota of Ashtakoot matching, reads the relationship between the two rulers in both directions and scores this pair 3 of 5. That is a middle score: on balance the rulers neither draw the partners together nor push them apart, so the partnership is shaped primarily by individual choices and complementary qualities. Graha Maitri carries 5 of the 36 Ashtakoot points and depends only on the two Moon signs — one input to the match, not a verdict on it.
