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 3 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 3 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:56 Wed to 02:30 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 02:30; 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 3 Jan only, at 06:42: Thu 3 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:56 Wed, before it (05:06–06:42).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 4 Jan, 09:05–19:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:30 on Fri 4 Jan to 04:51 on Sat 5 Jan; harivasara ends at 09:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:20.

Why Mon 22 Dec?

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 23 Dec, 07:01–19:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:28 on Tue 23 Dec to 02:40 on Wed 24 Dec; harivasara ends at 07:01.

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).
