The rule
How the Masik Shivratri night is decided
Shivratri is a night observance, kept on the night Krishna Chaturdashi holds nishita, the middle of the night. When Chaturdashi still runs at the end of nishita on two nights, the second is taken; when it reaches no nishita at all, the day whose sunrise carries it. That rule reproduces AstroSage's list, and the same rule dates Maha Shivratri on its own page.
