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 6 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 6 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:02 Mon to 21:01.

Ekadashi ended at 21:01 Tue; 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 6 Jan only, at 05:43: Tue 6 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:02 Mon, before it (04:07–05:43).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 7 Jan, 05:44–18:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:01 on Tue 6 Jan to 22:29 on Wed 7 Jan; harivasara ends at 03:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 7 Jan, 05:44. 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 08:22.

Why Sun 26 Dec?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Sun 26 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 10:02.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 27 Dec, 05:38–07:47

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 08:47 on Sun 26 Dec to 07:47 on Mon 27 Dec; harivasara ends at 14:32 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 27 Dec, 05:38.

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).
