It occurs when you receive the Zodiac DIYs out of order. Since we're Gemini season you should be fine.
You can lock yourself out of zodiac DIY

I was wondering why she gave me star fragments tonight. Thanks for posting about this.
Edit: but I got the Gemini closet last. Does this just mean I’m up to date or does she usually give repeats?

I don't know if everyone knows, but you can not receive two Celeste DIYs on the same day, no matter if you go to another island or your own.
Let's say you find Celeste on your island and you get a DIY, then you go to your friends island (no matter if someone is on May or December or whatever) your friend also has Celeste. She will NOT give you another DIY, she will just go thru her normal conversations as if she already gave you one. You, on your file, NEED to TT in order to get another DIY from Celeste.
So this is probably what happened, I had that happen one time actually. I went to a friend's island because he had Celeste and she gave me a normal non zodiac DIY, when I went back to my island, Celeste was paying me a visit and I thought I would get another DIY because hey, I went to another island, but no, she was acting as if I had already talked to her.
It also doesn't matter if you get DIYs out of order, you will still get whatever month you're in Obligatory DIY. A friend of mine TT to February and I got the Pisces lights, and I was still able to get the Taurus bathtub without any problems.
The game just doesn't want you to abuse Celeste by going to different islands, which is why that check is in place. The check goes away the next day, be it by waiting normally or by TT and then you're able to get more DIYs from Celeste.

I’m wondering the same thing... I also noticed my character is only getting regular fragments, no zodiac ones. Bf’s player got zodiac ones. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence.

Yep just means you’re up to date.
You hey star fragments after you collect all her regular DIYs.

This wasn’t on the same day, it was over three days.

Large and Zodiac fragments are rarer than the normal ones, so not getting one or the other is, sadly, normal, especially if you wish on a low number of stars. You get "better" chances at getting Zodiac fragments if you wish on a lot of stars, and even then, you're at the mercy of the glorious Animal Crossing RNG

Ohh, thank you for letting me know. I will have to be careful to not get the DIYs out of order now haha
The issue was described in this thread as well. I'm still annoyed by this because it doesn't make sense to me that Nintendo actively prevents Celeste from giving you your "correct" recipe the next time you meet her... 
Since I had Celeste in my town tonight I just started another character and got the star wand. Next time hopefully the character should get the gemini closet and I will just do it that way each month to get the recipe. That way my son can learn his and I wont feel like I am missing something...lol.

Thank you so much for linking that. So if I understand correctly, if I let zodiac period roll over I should be able to get the correct DIY next month as normal. That makes me feel a lot better actually.The issue was described in this thread as well.

Yeah I was pretty bothered by the possibility of them being permanently out of order haha.
Oh, you're welcome! I figured the information might come in handy for some users. It's definitely managable (unless you are extremely against TT and/or have no other characters), but still a bit of a nuisance. Hope you can get your recipe!
I maxed out my Wishing achievement on the first night I got a proper meteor shower...
But even with all the star fragments littered everywhere the next morning I didn't get ANY large star fragments.
A month later, I wished on maybe a dozen and I got a large fragment from the handful of fragments that I found.
I hate RNG sometimes.
This sounds like what happened to some people who came to visit my island on the first night of Gemini season... they reported that they didn't get the closet, and instead frags, when they didn't have the recipe yet. Most people got the recipe as normal, just those two (who were very active in DIY trading and probably got the other recipes before Gemini).
At the time, I thought it was some time zone related thing, because I'm in Australia and it might not have been the 21st there. But it sounds like it was this. Good to know, hopefully it gets patched soon.
