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 Sat 1 Jan?

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

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:33 to 05:49 Sun.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:49; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:33 Sat to 05:49.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 1 Jan only, at 06:40: Sat 1 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:33, before it (05:04–06:40).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 2 Jan, 12:27–19:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:49 on Sun 2 Jan to 08:21 on Mon 3 Jan; harivasara ends at 12:27. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19, which here ends before harivasara does.

Why Thu 21 Dec?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 21 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:06.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 09:06 Wed to 09:25.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 21 Dec only, at 06:35: Thu 21 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:06 Wed, before it (04:59–06:35).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 22 Dec, 06:35–10:15

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 09:25 on Thu 21 Dec to 10:15 on Fri 22 Dec; harivasara ends at 15:38 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 22 Dec, 06:35.

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).
