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 Sun 5 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Sun 5 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 16:17.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:17 Sat to 16:39.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 5 Jan only, at 05:44: Sun 5 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:17 Sat, before it (04:08–05:44).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 6 Jan, 05:44–17:26

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:39 on Sun 5 Jan to 17:26 on Mon 6 Jan; harivasara ends at 22:50 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 6 Jan, 05:44. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:22.

Why Fri 26 Dec?

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 27 Dec, 04:02–04:38 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 04:38 on Sat 27 Dec, after arunodaya begins (04:02) and before sunrise (05:38). 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).
