The classical Vedic answer to "what is the best time today in Moonlight?" is to overlay two systems — Choghadiya (city-wide auspicious / inauspicious time slots) and Panch Pakshi (your personal bird-based schedule). Where both agree, you get the Super Muhurat — the best time in Moonlight to sign a contract, launch a venture, start a journey or begin any important new work.
Choghadiya splits each day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) into 8 equal periods of roughly 90 minutes, named in a fixed seven-name cycle. The cycle anchors precisely at Moonlight's local sunrise and sunset — not a generic time table. Four are auspicious, three are not:
The first period of each day depends on the weekday lord, and the cycle advances regularly through the 8 day periods and 8 night periods.
Panch Pakshi (Tamil "five birds") personalises Muhurta. Your birth nakshatra plus the lunar fortnight you were born in (Shukla paksha if the moon was waxing, Krishna paksha if waning) assigns you to one of five birds:

Two people on the same Choghadiya schedule in Moonlight can have very different "personal good hours" depending on their bird, weekday and paksha.
Super Muhurat is the overlap of both filters. When Choghadiya Amrit or Labh coincides with your bird being in Ruling or Eating, both the universal time-quality and your personal time-quality agree — making it the highest-conviction window in Moonlight for:
