Question 1

Why would anyone need a muhurat for a haircut or a bath?

Accepted Answer

Because the classical texts treat these as acts that touch the body directly, and assign each a set of favourable weekdays and nakshatras. Families who follow the tradition simply avoid the disfavoured days rather than schedule around the best ones.

Question 2

How are everyday muhurats worked out?

Accepted Answer

Chiefly from the weekday and the nakshatra the Moon occupies, refined by the tithi, and then checked against your birth chart - especially the Moon's position relative to your own. Rikta tithis, eclipse days and Rahu Kaal are set aside.

Question 3

Is it worth taking the annual pass instead?

Accepted Answer

If you check more than a handful of times a year, yes. The Nitya Muhurat annual subscription covers these everyday occasions for twelve months so you are not requesting a fresh window each time.
