Another round of remarkable celestial signs is about to unfold in 2026 on the heels of several “blood moons” in 2025, which may hold prophetic significance relating to Israel and the Middle East.
Once again, Iran is at the center of a chaotic moment with potential global impact as hundreds of thousands of protesters take to the streets, risking their lives in a quest for freedom from the chains of the country’s brutal Islamic regime. Hundreds have already been murdered by Iranian forces, and thousands imprisoned. And there are threats that the U.S. could strike again at the heart of the regime.
Last year’s two “blood moons” came as Israel entered a final stage of its military campaign to defeat Hamas and free Gaza from its terrorist infestation. And that came on the heels of Israeli and U.S. efforts to end the Iranian nuclear threat with direct military strikes inside Iran.
With that uncertain geopolitical stage as a backdrop, the world now waits for a “ring of fire” solar eclipse that’s coming on Feb. 17, 2026, followed by a “blood moon” on March 3, 2026, culminating with a total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026.

The first of those events is a “ring of fire” eclipse in which the moon will pass between Earth and the Sun, but won’t entirely eclipse the Sun, allowing a halo of its fiery glow to still be seen. The “ring of fire,” also known as an annular solar eclipse, will mainly be visible in southern South America, Africa, and the Atlantic.
The second event, the “blood moon,” will last for nearly an hour on March 3, 2026, and will be visible across the Americas, Australia, and Asia.
The third major celestial event of this year, the total solar eclipse, will pass over the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and northern Spain.
‘A Golden Age of Solar Eclipses’: 3 Total Eclipses and 3 ‘Rings of Fire’ in 3 Years
The Feb. 17 “ring of fire” and the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse also kick off a new series of eclipses in each category. Space.com has dubbed this unusual schedule of events “a golden age of solar eclipses.”
Starting in February, we will see a cycle of three “ring of fire” eclipses within just three years, as well as a series of three total solar eclipses within those same three years.
The “rings of fire” will occur in February 2026, February 2027, and January 2028. Then, in August, we will kick off a stretch of three total solar eclipses in just 710 days. The three total eclipses will occur in August 2026, August 2027, and July 2028.
