About Voltaire
French Enlightenment writer, philosopher, and champion of civil liberties whose wit and satire, especially in Candide, challenged religious dogma and political tyranny. His advocacy for freedom of speech remains foundational to democratic thought.
Voltaire the Scorpio
Scorpio does not do shallow. A fixed water sign traditionally ruled by Mars and modernly by Pluto, Scorpio is drawn to whatever is real and hidden: the actual feeling under the polite answer, the thing nobody says at dinner. Small talk is a chore; the conversation at 2am is where Scorpio comes alive.
Voltaire's birth chart
- Trine
- Sextile
- Square
- Opposition
- Dotted: uncertain without a birth time
- Conjunctions sit side by side
Drawn from the birth date alone: without a birth time there is no Rising sign or houses, and a planet that changed sign that day shows both signs.
