Is it wrong to check the horoscope before every small decision?

it is not sinful, but it can become a dependency; use astrology for big turning points and let everyday life run on good sense.

Traditionally, muhūrta was sought for saṁskāras and major undertakings — weddings, housewarmings, long journeys, starting a venture. It was never meant to decide what to cook, whether to answer a phone call, or which shirt to wear. When every choice waits for a sign, life becomes anxious and small, and it is easy for others to exploit that anxiety.

A healthy pattern is: decide based on facts, values and advice; then, for a significant step, choose a good time if you can and begin with prayer. For daily life, a short morning prayer and a glance at the day's tithi or festival is plenty.

If you notice fear whenever you skip checking, it may help to step back for a while. Faith in God and in your own good effort is the foundation; astrology is only a lamp along the way.
