No, it's not. Lucifer means something like "carrier of light", and it
came from the Latin translation of the Septuaginta, that had
"Phosphoros", which was the (wrong) translation of 
Venus-qua-morning-star, which was part of a text that was
_condemning_ astrology

You must recognize that it was not Evil in that case: Religion is 
better than Astrology. Believing that there is a God that wants you
to behave properly is better than believing that the configuration of
the planets justifies all your actions.
