As the name Lucifer would bring a lot of assumptions related to Satan, the dark and evil, the actual meaning of this Asteroid is very different. Lucifer means the bringer of light, the shining one, morning star. Lucifer is the same archangel as the Hebrew Samael, in which the story differs from what we know in Christianity.
Mythology
Lucifer was an archangel whom disobeyed God. He was intelligent and beautiful. But “Pride came before fall”, he wanted to go his own way and left God. Testing the belief system of those who obeyed Him. Because everyone saw God as the ultimate good in the world, therefore Lucifer became the ‘evil’ as he choose to go his own way, think for himself. Lucifer is rebellious. This is what most of us believe as the Mythology of Lucifer. It’s often based on religious or cultural background. A social instruction.
The real meaning of Lucifer in Mythology is strongly tied to the Hebrew archangel Samael.
Samael was the brightest amongst all archangels. One who delve into the depths of everything in order to find the light and truth.

What it means in the birthchart
The asteroid should be used in a tight orb of 0-3′. It’s most powerful when in a conjunction to one of the planets or angles. Lucifer is much about bravery and here you’re willing to take risks to change what has been taken for granted. Often you may feel alone on the journey as a strong Lucifer indicates going against the mainstream or patriarchic standards. Lucifer is about developing your ego without fear and trusting in yourself. It’s not negative but could come across as negative in the perception of others at first sight, as you’re doing things differently, your way. However, simultaneously you may feel a bit anxious as you fear to be viewed as evil for choosing a new and different approach for questioning the leaders and authority figures. It can create self doubt which limits the ego and therefore failure. But in the end, Lucifer is about aligning with your truest self.
