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 6 Jan?

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

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:57 to 23:50.

Ekadashi ended at 23:50 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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 6 Jan only, at 06:44: Thu 6 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:57, before it (05:08–06:44).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 7 Jan, 06:45–19:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:50 on Thu 6 Jan to 21:02 on Fri 7 Jan; harivasara ends at 05:08. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 7 Jan, 06:45. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:22.

Why Tue 27 Dec?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 27 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:02.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 09:02 Mon to 08:59.

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 Tue 27 Dec only, at 06:38: Tue 27 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:02 Mon, before it (05:02–06:38).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 28 Dec, 06:38–08:04

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 08:59 on Tue 27 Dec to 08:04 on Wed 28 Dec; harivasara ends at 14:45 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 28 Dec, 06:38.

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).
