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 1 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 1 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 12:46.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 12:46 Mon to 11:59.

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 1 Jan only, at 05:40: Tue 1 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 12:46 Mon, before it (04:04–05:40).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 2 Jan, 05:41–10:26

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 11:59 on Tue 1 Jan to 10:26 on Wed 2 Jan; harivasara ends at 17:36 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 2 Jan, 05:41.

Why Sat 21 Dec?

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 22 Dec, 05:35–15:25

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:24 on Sat 21 Dec to 15:25 on Sun 22 Dec; harivasara ends at 20:39 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 22 Dec, 05:35. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:13.

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).
