Candide

Yes! He’s one of my favorite authors/philosophers. I adore his works. I’ve been practicing astrology for over 10 years as well, and there is an asteroid called Voltaire, and its placement can indicate how you feel about societal rituals and social implications, how you are suspicious of tradition and rules or authority, how optimistic you are, how idealistic you are, and how you prioritize your own happiness.

My Voltaire is in Sagittarius, its ruling sign, the sign of the philosopher. It’s also in my 1st House, meaning it presents much more strongly in my chart than it would in someone else’s. 1st House represents our outer persona, how we appear from the outside, and integral identity, meaning Voltaire’s beliefs are a big part of who I am intrinsically, and it tends to show outwardly as well. One of my favorite asteroids. :)
