SUNNY Hoston and Alyssa Farah Griffin's disagreements on The View have certainly become heated — but are only their differing politics to blame?
One expert insists that The View co-hosts "tend to clash" and "engage in power struggles" because they're both competitive — and one of them is particularly argumentative.
Sunny, 54, and Alyssa, 33, have had more than a few flare-ups during their shared time at The View.
That may be no surprise given that Sunny is a staunch Democrat while Alyssa served as White House Director of Strategic Communications under former President Donald Trump.
They've argued over Trump's indictment, Sunny has implied Alyssa is "two-faced," and Alyssa has been called out for speaking over Sunny.
But founder Michelle Bell tells The U.S. Sun that they're not just on different sides of the political spectrum, their astrological combinations can clash, too.
While Sunny can be "diplomatic," Alyssa can be "confrontational" and both are "opinionated" and "obsessed with achieving."
Sunny is a Libra Earth Monkey while Alyssa is a Gemini Earth Snake in Cosmic Fusion, which combines people's Western zodiac signs, Chinese elements, and Chinese animals.
"When you look at their Western signs, they’re both air signs, so they share a love of intellectual discussion and conversation," Bell explained.
"However, when you get two strong opinionated air signs together, it can lead to heated debates, with both sides passionately defending their side.

"Libras (Sunny) tend to approach debates with a more measured and diplomatic tone, whereas Geminis (Alyssa) can sometimes come across as confrontational or argumentative.
"Then in Chinese astrology, both the Snake (Sunny) and Monkey (Alyssa) are two zodiac signs that tend to clash due to their similar personality traits.
"They’re both so competitive and want to be the best.
"Their desire to succeed can lead to conflicts, as they may feel threatened or challenged by one another.
"They may engage in power struggles and become overly obsessed with achieving.
"They both have a tendency to disregard the perspectives of other people due to their blind competitiveness."
Bell said Sunny's sign combination makes her "balanced, genuine,
efficient, and kind."
She also described her as a "multi-tasking goddess" who is very ambitious.
"One thing to know is they always get their way. They’re extremely persuasive and won’t take no for an answer.
"As they have Libra in their combined sign, they love to argue and debate because they enjoy the intellectual challenge.
"They are not afraid of conflict or being confrontational, they love to play devil’s advocate."
Alyssa's sign combo, on the other hand, is "unapologetically ambitious," controlled, and level-headed.
"They also love a good debate," Bell added.
"Geminis are known for their quick wit, intelligence, and love of intellectual stimulation, which can sometimes make them appear argumentative.
