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 Thu 5 Jan?

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

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 17:48.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:48 Wed to 15:15.

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 Thu 5 Jan only, at 05:43: Thu 5 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:48 Wed, before it (04:07–05:43).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 6 Jan, 05:44–12:08

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:15 on Thu 5 Jan to 12:08 on Fri 6 Jan; harivasara ends at 20:28 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 6 Jan, 05:44.

Why Mon 25 Dec and Tue 26 Dec?

Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Mon 25 Dec: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 26 Dec.

Dashami until 04:13, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:13 to 03:18 Tue.

Ekadashi ended at 03:18; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:13 Mon to 03:18.

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 Mon 25 Dec only, at 05:37: Mon 25 Dec.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 25 Dec Dashami lasts until 04:13, inside arunodaya (04:01–05:37), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:18, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 26 Dec: Tue 26 Dec.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 26 Dec, 08:51–18:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:18 on Tue 26 Dec to 01:32 on Wed 27 Dec; harivasara ends at 08:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:49: 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 · Wed 27 Dec, 05:38–18:49 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:32 on Wed 27 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (04:02): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:38, 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).
