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 5 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Fri 5 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 10:43.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 10:43 Thu to 10:03.

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 Fri 5 Jan only, at 05:43: Fri 5 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 10:43 Thu, before it (04:07–05:43).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 6 Jan, 05:43–09:42

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 10:03 on Fri 5 Jan to 09:42 on Sat 6 Jan; harivasara ends at 15:57 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 6 Jan, 05:43.

Why Tue 24 Dec and Wed 25 Dec?

Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 24 Dec: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 25 Dec.

Dashami until 05:31, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:31 to 03:08 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 03:08; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:31 Tue to 03:08.

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

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 24 Dec only, at 05:36: Tue 24 Dec.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 24 Dec Dashami lasts until 05:31, inside arunodaya (04:00–05:36), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:08, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 25 Dec: Wed 25 Dec.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 25 Dec, 08:31–18:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:08 on Wed 25 Dec to 00:39 on Thu 26 Dec; harivasara ends at 08:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:15, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 26 Dec, 05:37–18:49 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 00:39 on Thu 26 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (04:01): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:37, to sunset, 18:49, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
