Why is a date I had in mind not listed?

Hours: sunrise to sunset. No Pitru Paksha. No Adhik maas. A season that touches any part of a day rules out the whole day. Whole periods are also left out by tradition.

Which nakshatras, tithis and weekdays does a business opening muhurat need?

Weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Hours: sunrise to sunset.
Are these muhurat times right for my city?
They are worked out for New Delhi, in India Standard Time. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal change from city to city, and the Panchang day begins at local sunrise, so in another city the windows shift and a date near the edge can change. The Muhurat finder works them out for any city.
Do I still need a priest to fix the hour?
These dates follow the classical business opening rules used by the Muhurat finder. Regional customs differ, and a family priest may also look at your own birth star and Moon sign (Tara bala and Chandra bala) before fixing the hour.
