On social media, Rasheeda, an eccentric businesswoman and reality TV star, immortalized the rare-layered birthday of her very dear friend with an emotional tribute that set the fanbase abuzz. This bestowal of affection came as Gemini season was in full bloom. Rasheeda dubbed her friend Gemini sis and “Ms. Money Monster” in a lengthy caption dripping with gushing admiration.

The accompanying video had the bark-i-wark repetition of “It’s a birthday girl,” almost perfectly encapsulating the vibe of the party while the tune from the background played merry notes on. The caption about their special bond read,” I’m so glad our paths crossed & connected like they have!! U have a heart of gold & a mean hustle.” She ended with a request for followers to tap Sierra with love emojis, which they were more than happy to do.
That was the birth of an epic Gemini celebration upon the comment section as fellow May-born people came out strongly. One enthusiastic user obviously intoxicated by the moment took the uncommon way out by launching into an epic birthday manifesto for all those born on May 25: “We’re blessed and highly favoured we’re strong, we’re tough, we’re brave, we’re fearless, we’re fearfully and wonderfully made WE’RE THE CHOSEN ONES!!!!” Almost dripping with Gemini energy, the comment blew up with celebratory emojis and loud and proud statements about their “goated day.”
More birthday twins continued to come for May 25, with one affirming, “May 25th in full effect!!” while another professed, “It’s the Gems for me.” The camaraderie was so thick, the next comment read, half-wisely, “That explains a lot Geminis put up with a lot of stuff!!” This made it so clear that now even a simple birthday wish carries an overlay of astrological analysis.
Sierra received the reciprocated kind of affection Alicia Keys-style: “I loveeeeee you sooo much my gem❤️❤️,” only cementing the image of these two lovers as mutual adoration. Other friends and followers went on with a more traditional kind of birthday-wishing, but the jargon Gemini remained in the forefront all through the thread.
The post exposes the closest coterie of Rasheeda and the manner in which she goes about celebrating her dear ones. The name Rasheeda has, on numerous occasions, been linked to such realities appearing on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, along with a series of other business ventures into clothing boutiques and a Champagne brand, amongst others. In fact, it is barely surprising that Rasheeda uses her platform to promote women entrepreneurs since she praised Sierra’s hustle.

What made this birthday post different was that the post somehow organically turned into the rallying point for Geminis everywhere to vocalize their common traits and birth month. The comments reflected how zodiac signs nowadays are used as modern shorthand for personality types and means of community building, particularly among females backing other females. From the trash-talking shout-outs to the run-of-the-mill “Happy birthday” emojis, the entire thread is an example of how social media has transformed what once were simple birthday greetings into public celebrations of connectedness.
