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 Tue 8 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 8 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:46 to 01:09 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 01:09; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 8 Jan only, at 05:45: Tue 8 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:46, before it (04:09–05:45).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 9 Jan, 07:03–18:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:09 on Wed 9 Jan to 00:46 on Thu 10 Jan; harivasara ends at 07:03. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:23.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 29 Dec, 06:53–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:22 on Sun 29 Dec to 02:26 on Mon 30 Dec; harivasara ends at 06:53.

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).
