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 9 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Sat 9 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 20:10.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:10 Fri to 17:47.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 9 Jan only, at 08:07: Sat 9 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:10 Fri, before it (06:31–08:07).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 10 Jan, 08:07–15:23

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:47 on Sat 9 Jan to 15:23 on Sun 10 Jan; harivasara ends at 23:11 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 10 Jan, 08:07. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:02.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 31 Dec, 08:07–09:10

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).
