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 1 Jan?

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

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 17:46.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:46 Mon to 17:58.

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 1 Jan only, at 06:41: Tue 1 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:46 Mon, before it (05:05–06:41).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 2 Jan, 06:41–18:40

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:58 on Tue 1 Jan to 18:40 on Wed 2 Jan; harivasara ends at 00:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 2 Jan, 06:41. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19.

Why Sun 22 Dec?

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:45.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 08:45 Sat to 06:52.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 23 Dec, 03:59–05:12 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 05:12 on Mon 23 Dec, after arunodaya begins (03:59) and before sunrise (05:35). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: 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).
