Cleveland, city in and county seat of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States, was founded on July 22, 1796 in United States. With the Sun in Cancer, Cleveland's chart begins from a Cancer core. The chart is cast for the event date (noon), the standard approach for founding charts.

Astrological profile

The chart’s core is a Leo Sun flashing at the exact degree, a bold central nucleus of self‑expression that seeks visibility, leadership and creative affirmation. With an approximate Aquarius Moon at 28°, the emotional temperament leans toward detached, humanitarian ideals, tempering Leo’s personal pride with a wish to contribute to the collective good. Mercury in Cancer (12°) adds a nurturing, memory‑filled mind, while Venus in Leo (retrograde, 21°) deepens the desire for admiration but hints at internalized standards for love. Mars in Sagittarius (17°) fuels an adventurous drive, and the predominance of Fixed signs (five planets) locks these intentions into a steady, resolute temperament. The fire dominance (three fire planets) intensifies confidence and initiative, despite the lack of a definitive Ascendant.

Mercury’s trine to Jupiter (both in the 12°‑13° range) creates an effortless expansion of thought: ideas are communicated with optimism, learning feels natural, and the mind easily grasps larger philosophies. Uranus sextile Neptune (both at 6°) weaves visionary insight with spiritual yearning, granting sudden flashes of inspiration that feel both innovative and transcendent. This same Uranian energy also sextiles Chiron (6°), suggesting an inventive approach to healing—using unconventional methods to address deep wounds. Conversely, the Sun’s quincunx to Pluto (1° orb) forces the Leo ego to adjust to transformative undercurrents, often provoking identity tension; the Moon’s conjunction with Pluto reinforces this, making emotions intensely profound, with hidden motivations surfacing under stress.

Fire‑Fixed dominance declares a personality that is purpose‑driven, charismatic, and resistant to change, yet the balanced presence of Air, Water and Earth offers channels for intellect, feeling and practicality. In sum: a luminous, steadfast leader whose inner vision periodically reshapes his sense of self.
