Just ahead of her 58th birthday, which is on 9 August, the Today star opened up about what she hopes for her future alongside co-host Jenna Bush Hager, and what they think is in store for both of them.

Quite fittingly, they had their birth charts read to them by astrologist Jennifer Racioppi, and the two were captivated with all of her exciting predictions. Hoda is a Leo, while Jenna is a Sagittarius.

The astrologist explained to Hoda: "2021 into 2022 was a deep clearing year, you've been asked to release anything that wasn't authentic for you, let it go."

She further added: "This next year for you is really a preparation, and 2023 is a landing for you," before detailing that: "You're going to go through your second Saturn return, which is a spiritual moment for you where you really nail your purpose."

Hoda gasped at the predictions, and even more so when Jennifer said: "There's a deeper iteration of your confidence, your ability to love, to be loved, but it's a divine love, it's a spiritual love."

The insightful conversation

As the two co-stars intently listened, Jennifer added that there would also be romantic love in her life soon, and when asked what Hoda really wants she enthusiastically confessed: "Well I really like my chart!" revealing that she would welcome that.
