Horoscope Hive View

The Hive View That Corresponds To Your Zodiac Sign

There are a few things I know for certain. Carole Baskin is guilty, summer is the best part of the year, and horoscopes are real. Ok, maybe I can’t prove that horoscopes are, in fact, “real,” but there have been too many signs pointing me in that direction over the last ten years.

Horoscopes, at their most basic, are astrological charts that represent the positions of the Moon, Sun and planets at the time of an individual’s birth. One’s horoscope is most commonly read via their Sun sign, which corresponds to the placement of the Sun at the time of the individual’s birth. The Sun sign is the most common sign interpreted, and typically associated with a slew of specific characteristics. And today, we’re going to take a very critical look at how each zodiac sign would use Hive. More specifically, which view they’d primarily utilize in the platform. 

If you’re reading this, you probably know that Hive is a project management tool used by teams at Google, Starbucks, Toyota and Comcast. But what you might not know is that one of Hive’s main selling points is our array of flexible views, which include Gantt, Kanban, Portfolio, Summary, Table, and My Actions. Why is this so important? Because it means that individuals across the same team can each use a different view to work their way. And today, we’ll share our compelling thoughts* on which Hive view that is most closely aligned with each zodiac sign.
