Why does Saphala Ekadashi fall on these dates?

A lunar date comes about 11 days earlier each year, until an extra lunar month (adhika) moves it later again. One falling early in January can move back into the December before, so a year can have two, and the next year none.

Why Fri 3 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Fri 3 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 11:49.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 11:49 Thu to 11:52.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 3 Jan only, at 07:03: Fri 3 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 11:49 Thu, before it (05:27–07:03).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 4 Jan, 07:03–12:19

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 11:52 on Fri 3 Jan to 12:19 on Sat 4 Jan; harivasara ends at 17:59 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 4 Jan, 07:03.

Why Tue 23 Dec?

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 24 Dec, 08:16–17:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:45 on Wed 24 Dec to 00:49 on Thu 25 Dec; harivasara ends at 08:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:11.

The rule

Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta: Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava: Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast: on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
