So I just saw on Astro 2.0 claims that having Lucifer in someone's chart makes them a 'know-it-all,' which literally makes no sense to me.

Asteroid experts, could you explain to me why this is not true? I don't see the correlation here and how this would be an interpretation in the first place. I've never heard this before, so I guess I need some explanation or theory.

The story of Lucifer is spiritual pride.

He did not want to bow to God.

He wanted to be "the top" and this is a lack of humility( and holier than thou attitude) to make it everyday and practical, which is what I, always, try to do

They want to top everyone in any given(or most) conversation, situation etc

If a person has a strong Lucifer and a Sun/Merc combust, everything gets more pronounced because the combust increases being self centered and hence the lack of humility is exacerbated.

Then, you have someone who is a nuclear "know it all"

Lucifer, from my experience, resonates an interesting energy.. I plan to expand on this later.. But, I see lucifer as neither good or bad in and of itself, rather, it isn't as afraid to break or go against boundaries/societal constructs.

I kind of see Lucifer as the mirror that reflects things on somewhat of a merciless level.. But, it isn't quite that simple. Somewhat of a vigilante type energy, but more complex.. Lucifer has to be pushed VERY far before it's truest darkness is brought out, it seems.


Lucifer to me, is controlled chaos to a certain degree.. Hmm.. There are a few pages on this site dealing with Lucifer.. You may want to look into some of the other pages on here about it.

The only thing about Lucifer that sticks out as 'know it all' to me, is that Lucifer is sometimes associated with pride.

But, lucifer is also associated with rebellion in a sense.. Lucifer could be the revolutionary that would go to extremes others possibly wouldn't.. But as I said, it seems as if it is an energy that needs to be triggered, which takes a lot to happen.

Personally, I have my sun in the 8th house opposite pluto in Scorpio.. My sun is conjunct Chaos and aspecting Lucifer.

I'll expand more on how I personally see Lucifer later on.

Of course, I could be a bit off in the way I see Lucifer.. But, Lucifer has been somewhat of an interesting Being to me.. I've spent some time looking into his energy over the last couple of years.

I feel like l Lucifer is somewhat of a being of Grey-Morals.. But, will generally stick with the higher path unless provoked on a deep level.

As I said, Lucifer is the Light-Bearer...it carries brilliance, great strength, enlightenment but it often comes with a price...its not necessarily 'bad' energy, but it is AMORAL energy - Lucifer will break down bariers, the means would justify the end, the purpose would be much more important than the path one would take to get there. It wont necessarily manifest in 'dark' ways but if need be, moral tenets will not stand in the way of its purpose.

Taken from the thread 'Sun Conjunct Lucifer'

May be a thread you might want to look at..

I call things in a different way than many on here. I like to be practical and I think there is good and bad. In this current milieu, it is considered verboten to call things as they are, in my opinion. I think life has good and bad, evil and non evil and hence, Astrology reflects that.

Then, you have someone who is a nuclear "know it all"


But you realize you are essentially calling yourself a know-it-all then since you have Lucifer conjunct Venus, right?

The reason I know this is because when I first started analyzing my professor's chart, I put in a bunch of asteroids, including Lucifer. Since you have the same birthdate, you have this by default.

IDK, I would reconsider this thought because this implies that if you don't have Lucifer strongly aspected then you aren't a know-it-all, but if it is strongly aspected, then you are. I feel a more neutral stance should be taken on this asteroid, not a black or white good or bad personality.

I've found the asteroid prominent in some very non-devilish individuals (such as A. Schweitzer) so it cannot possibly always mean the negative things often associated with it. Also, on a more personal note, my boyfriend has it conj. Sun and I'm sure I would have spotted the horns long ago, he's also not a know-it-all, far from it, in fact he's very humble (one could say too humble) even in his areas of expertise. But it does sometimes show up prominent in the charts of awful criminals etc., so I guess like every astro placement, it has a bright and a darker side. Funnily, several perceptive people who've met my boyfriend remarked to me afterwards that he's a "luminous" kind of person. This always made me think of his Lucifer conj. Sun placement!

OH- yeah I forgot about the Christian saints, I was thinking of the devil! Thank you for the education, you can kind of tell after leaving Catholicism I have not kept up on my religious history lol. I've looked at this asteroid in several charts, and I've never really thought of it as bad thing. The luminous description is perfect too. I mean of course the asteroid can neutral, but cultural consciousness better fits it. This totally makes sense and fits the chart of Schweitzer. Speaking of, I still owe you that chart analysis- I haven't forgot.

Interesting- thank you! I'll definitely search the archives as well. It definitely could be rebellion as well. I wish I had Lucifer aspecting in my chart, it would be cool to see this used in a constructive manner, such as cultural consciousness.

Thanks for the quote too- definitely some food for thought! This asteroid is quite interesting now that I have a better grasp on it.

I my opinion,
( it may sound a bit contradictory, forgive me )

It seems like Knowledge (or should I say Enlightment? ) is a reflection of a Triad.

And matters concerned with "light" are related to another popular Triad, indeed.

15, 17 , 21

And Lucifer would be the 1st of them. - The Magician
Because the 1st step of the 'enlightment' process it's the most risky.
But not necessary bad.


Oooh- would you mind expanding on the numbers if you have time? This sounds neat. And yeah, that is pretty awesome you used a Harry Potter reference to describe your opinion. Really cool stuff, thanks for posting!

If you do look through the archives, you may find the argument that Lucifer did what he did out of a certain reverence for God, in a sense..

So.. According to that specific thread, and going by what it says in it(I haven't read the full story dealing with Lucifer, so I am going specifically off of what that thread said):

Personally, if I was in Lucifer's position, I wouldn't know what to do..

He was told to bow to God's creation of man.. But, he was probably conflicted because he was put into a position in which he had to bow for another being outside of God himself. Of course, I would say I would want to bow out of respect.. But yet at the same time, I would be conflicted. I would be being told to bow to something outside of God, which was something that would have never before even had been pondered.

So, as far as I can see, that can be seen as pride.. but it can also be seen as him willingly giving up his position in heaven, in order to not bow to something he believed to be below God (and, depending on how you look at it, himself)

In a sense, if he was willing to give up his position in heaven, to keep his reverence towards God, and God only, I could actually see that as its own form of self-sacrifice and humility.

Of course, as I said.. There would also be the argument of pride since it is seen he simply didn't bow because he found himself 'above humans' but, to me it doesn't seem quite that simple.

In this given context, it could be argued he rebelled because he didn't believe it was right to bow to any other entity outside of God Himself. I am guessing Lucifer knew what he was doing, and he knew the consequences, but couldn't will himself to bow.

As I said.. I could see bowing out of respect.. But it still remains that he would be bowing to something outside of God.. Even if it was one of God's creations..

Bella

I just looked. It is 4 degrees which is too wide BUT if I did, I would accept what it said.

I, personally, don't understand people who will not accept their placements and want to say something is not what it is.

How can you have any hope of any change if you deny what your chart says.

I see things in different terms than many people on here.

I am a Bible believer and one BIG difference is that we believe in right and wrong and we believe in good and evil.

The current New Age philosophy makes everything "good"

I do not agree with that.

Hence, for me, if I had Lucifer conjunct venus, I would see what it had to teach me about pride.

I have Aldebaran conj Venus. If one does not have integrity, one will go down and badly.

I, almost did. I came very close to really bad things happening because I was foolish and was not acting with integrity.

God saved me, really.

After that, I did not act so foolishly BUT I had to accept what Aldebaran meant in order to learn.

It rewards you with honor, prestige and good things BUT if you do not act with integrity, you will fall down into disagrace.

That is it's meaning.

I can't obfuscate the meanings of things, whether it be Lucifer or Nessus and whether *I* have it or not.

It doesn't matter if *I* look bad. I want to learn what my chart has to teach me

Along with what these said, I've been watching this very slow mover for a while now, and still not ready to cinch any conclusions--

But this is one of the ways I'm viewing the transits of 1930 Lucifer, as possibly related to or indicating course-changing decisions one may find yourself in, that almost has no win-win solution to it.

Timing for needs or issues which present themselves and involve elements of making moral decisions which may consequently deeply impact and influence your life's current trajectory and path heading. Needing to consider a somewhat devilish choice that pivots on a razor-like edge and may go against your ethical grain and moral standards.

I've noticed also that Lucifer was his name before he was cast out of Heaven. After the fall from Heaven, his name was then referred to as Satan.

God created this Beautiful special archangel as the Highest Angel in Heaven.... and gave this particular angel the capacity to make 'free will' choices. (I don't know the direct reference for that for 'fact checking'--, but heard it from a teacher whom I consider reliable.)

I can feel it when I deal with people. I had two girls I was helping with the charts, free of charge.

I spent a lot of time helping them. Then, they would argue about everything.

One had Lucifer conj the NN and the other had it conjunct a personal planet.

It was the energy of "one ups man". It was not a discussion for discussion sake but to show me they 'knew more".

That, in essence, is Lucifer.

Here is a Lucifer song.

Though Lucifer conjuncts my ASC, Lucifer is in my 12th house. So I definitely see things that could be done better, but I will usually keep it to my self.

For example where I work, the room I'm in needs lots of improvement. I work in a full day preschool (a catholic one too) the kids have lunch in there and throw out the trash. In the room. So after lunch one part of the room smells like food garbage! Its gross, if I walked by the trash last week and I almost gagged! I don't know how the lead teacher stands it. The trash should seriously be taken out after lunch. Now that I am going to school for early childhood, I see all the things that bug me, that licensing people would have a problem with too.
I talk to my co workers about it and they feel the same way. But you know, it's the lead teachers class room and if that's how she wants things to go, that's on her.

Sometimes I be on a total cleaning kick! Wich is pretty miraculous because I was not the most disciplined child when it came to chores. I take more after my mom who is a pack rat. It's pretty bad, sometimes my sister and I think she is becoming a hoarder.

It's kind of nice but kind of sad how happy my family gets when I'm on a cleaning kick. Well my mom wanted to be in on the hype. And one day she was like "Hey Stawr I bought a bunch of organization containers to keep the house more organized."
and I'm thinking...

you may be thinking "huh?"
Because now we have organization containers cluttering up the house.
This is one of those times, where I just bite my tongue. Because like my sister says "you can't fight crazy, because that will just fuel them to act more crazy."

For me to tell someone they are in the wrong, my buttons really have to be pushed.

Examples:

Adults who say it's a child's fault an adult tried to touch them inappropriately.

Ex boyfriend telling his friends I NEVER pay on dates. Just because he gets the tab more.

Pots calling the kettle black.

When people don't respect boundaries.

When my mom refuses to lift a finger for when out of town guests will be staying at our house.
I get that when people are busy, it's harder to keep the house clean. But if you are having out of town guests over...SERIOUSLY, MAKE TIME! Show some respect for the guests, and show some respect for your home.
My sister and I think that sometimes she makes herself so busy on purpose so that she doesn't have to clean. She is the bread winner of the house, but also she is very involved in her church. Mom probably does church related things at least four times a week.
So when we are trying to get the house ready, mom is like "can't do it, I got church, bye!" And I'm thinking "CAN YOU EVER MISS?!" Why are you letting work and your religion keeping you from cleaning your ******* messes?! Everyone else wants to try for our guests, and it's unfair because most of the messes in the house ARE YOURS!
Though she may be the busiest...that doesn't mean having time on our hands is a walk in the park for the rest of us!
My dad has a full time job, but he does not make messes at all.
And I'm working while in school full time. So I have school work deadlines that have to come before cleaning, and I have to show up to work. Usually I end up taking care of the house while I know the guests are on the way. Which is more than mom! I get stuck cleaning her messes! I don't even get a chance to clean MY ROOM. Cause the choas of full time school, while working can take a serious toll on my room! And yeah that is something I would like to fix if I know guests are coming over. Even though no one really goes in my room. Except for my little second cousins....and you know how that goes...telling kids they can't go in a certain part of the house...!! Ugh. Then it looks like I am the messy one!
It's really ****** me off how careless my mom is about the house the one time of year we have guests staying at our house. And I can't really go off on her, because she is so busy. And I don't dare tell it like it is in front of the guests...cause that will just make them uncomfortable.
Sometimes I make time to tell mom how that makes me feel. She has got a little better. There was actually one year where I can really say that she did nothing at all. I calmly expressed to her how messed up that was. Now she makes time to "clean" for a half hour. She did not even want to give our guests clean sheets! I told her how messed up that was, so she finally gave in and did it.
But I am going to have to have a calm talk with her about stepping it up again, because it's not fair that I can't even get my room ready cause I am taking care of her messes.

Well I don't really seem like "dark" person.
My Lucifer tendencies are definitely there. But they are more hidden with it being in my 12th house.
Plus I have a Scorpio Moon beneath the surface of my Gemini ASC, and Aries Sun.

I can surprise people who are getting to know me, if I say something kind of dark.

I was at a party over the weekend, and even added a more "hard core" looking headband to my outfit, wore fish nets, and high heels with metal studs on them. And I still shock people if I say something dark. haha!
So I realize no matter how I dress, when I am in an outgoing mood at a party. I am going to come across as "happy go sunshine!" LOL

Plus I have asteroid Wild conjunct IC. IC is more hidden too...So I think that's another placement for surprising people when they see other layers of my personality.

Anyways back to Lucifer and ways I see it play out.
I was raised Christian/Catholic. I my family was the kind of Catholics that only went to church on Easter and Christmas for the most part. My dad has been Catholic his whole life and was burned out on the whole go to church every Sunday, and go to Catholic school Mon-Fri.
I would go to Bible camps with my friends. By the time I was 14 was when I started to question my faith. You see I was catholic, I went to catechism. And for years I went to this born again Christian Bible camps. The whole being born again thing never made any sense to me. I remember being a 9 year old at a Bible camp and everyone being at the church. The first time having these young counselors trying to explain Jesus dying and how we must save ourselves. All the girls in my camp were sobbing. I was so confused, to why they were sobbing. And I felt so weird just sitting there not sobbing like everyone else. So then I started to fake it. And then my buddy told me to go up and pray. So I went up there and pretty much telepathically said to God "I have no idea what's going on right now. But I hope everyone is okay." And sat back down like "good I don't have to fake cry anymore"
I went to Bible camps for 5 years and had being born again explained every time, but still never made any sense to me. I grasped the concept more as I got older, would "ask Jesus into heart every summer...but honestly I feel nothing.
The worst Christian advice I ever got was "read the Bible for answers" it left me with more questions.
I started asking my counselor things like "How are we all here if Adam and Eve had two sons?" "Keep reading the Bible for the answers"
"I know a lot of Jewish people who are nice good people, are they going to go to hell because they are Jewish?" "Yes they are."
"Do our pets go to heaven?" "I don't know, they Bible doesn't say"
Plus when my counselors found out I was Catholic, they told me that it was wrong to be Catholic. I was suppose to get my Confirmation that year. So after Bible camp...I decided that I needed to do my research. I didn't go to catechism that year and read the Bible.
By the time I was 17, I was done with praying to God.
Has anyone ever watched the comedian George Carlin talk about religion. Because the first time I did my reaction was "wow this guy says what I'm thinking out loud!"
Anyways, I find that astrology works better for getting answers over praying.

I have respect for Catholic people though. My entire dad's side is Catholic and they are cool people. One of my great uncle's is a priest. I remember going to some kind of celebration for him when I was 18, I asked a much younger priest, "if a Saint's body doesn't decompose like everyone else corpse then how come we put remains of their bones in gold cup things. Wouldn't we want to not chop up their bodies and sent their bones to various Catholic Churches and prove that it's true that their bodies stay perfectly preserved when they die?"
He was unable to answer.

I've also got up and walked out of my mom's church and did not come back in, because the Pastor said "if gay marriage was legal, then people will want to marry animals."
Do I really need to explain how stupid that statement is!?

I also really want to read Anton Levey's Satanic Bible. I've read a few parts of it online, and I really like what he has to say.

Lucifer was one of the foremost angels in Heaven. He was the most glorious creature ever created. It if thought that he was the head of music and that he had pipes built into his body.

Due to his great beauty and magnificence, he got lifted up with pride. He wanted all God's worship for himself. He was NOT dark when he was Lucifer.

When Lucifer rebelled against God, he was thrown out of Heaven( with the angels who joined him)

He was re named Satan, which means the adversary.

Asteroids HAVE to stay true to the stories/myths/accounts etc.

If WE don't like that, that is OUR problem, but the story must be distilled down to it's core truth, the best that we can.
