Synopsis
At the beginning of every short, Squidward plays his clarinet. After that, he congratulates the birthday of one zodiac sign and then starts "predicting." At the end of every short, Squidward says "I'm Squidward, your Nicktoon astrologer," says something random, and then plays his clarinet again.
Squidward's astrology segments during SpongeBob's Nicktoon Summer Splash are set in SpongeBob's house. They feature identical animation for Squidward and his clarinet. As part of his summer hosting duties, SpongeBob comments on Squidward's predictions, much to the latter's annoyance.[1]
