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 10 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 10 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 16:35.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:35 Mon to 14:05.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 10 Jan only, at 05:46: Tue 10 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:35 Mon, before it (04:10–05:46).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 11 Jan, 05:47–11:05

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:05 on Tue 10 Jan to 11:05 on Wed 11 Jan; harivasara ends at 19:20 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 11 Jan, 05:47.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 30 Dec, 08:07–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:33 on Sun 30 Dec to 00:52 on Mon 31 Dec; harivasara ends at 08:07. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:18.

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).
