'lucifer in occult circles means'
as opposed to what does lucifer mean which was the original question. what if it means something else in other circles?
nothing has meaning unless you give it meaning
a swastika meant peace in the ancient world. the nazi's had a different meaning for the symbol
Well, Lucifer exoterically speaking: a big bad guy that defies God. Lucifer esoterically speaking: the negative side of duality; dark, evil, bad etc etc.
The only two meanings it can have, both boil down to the same thing though: bad. We can thus conclude that Lucifer only has one meaning. Just like a stop sign means stop whether you want it to mean "hit the gas some more" or not.
And the swastika was indeed a symbol of peace. One thing though, the Nazi's reversed it, and then it came to mean the opposite of peace. So the original swastika was and always will mean peace. If you reverse it, it's not really an swastika anymore is it? Just like when I were to reverse an upside pointing arrow down. It has become a new symbol with it's own meaning.
