Not Satan, Lucifer. Lucifer was a Roman Pagan deity who was known as the "morning star." Lucifer's name did not appear in the Bible until the publication of the King James version in 1611, and in that version only appears once, in reference to a Babylonian king named Nebuchadnezzar. Satan and Lucifer are two entirely separate entities.
The attempt to mix Roman Pagan mythology with Judeo/Christian mythology is merely an attempt by the church to demonize the deities of the Romans. Standard conversion tactic, they've been using it for millenia.

In the Bible(Isaiah 14:12) How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast to earth, you who once laid low the nations. O morning Star refers to Satan. Venus has to do with Roman Mythology, so I don't know if they call her that. Jesus has been called bright and moring star (not morning star alone)and the light of the world. Jesus and Satan are not the same person. I hope this helped.

Isn't it possible that "morning star" is used as an adjective, and not a noun specific to one person? If this were the case, it could refer to Satan before he rebelled, in the descriptive sense.
No, Jesus and Satan are not the same person. Satan wouldn't die on a cross for people, nor could he tempt Jesus in the wilderness or before the crucifixion if he was the same entity as Jesus.
An example in modern-day Engish:
You are my "heart's delight".
EDIT: Or in reference to what Satan was before he rebelled for contrast purposes.

These are the only two (Jesus and Satan) of which I am aware.
But it is an interesting juxtaposition, very similar to the Yin and Yang of Taoist/Buddhist origin. The light and the dark that are one and the same; essential parts of one another present in everything.

Venus and Aphrodite are one and the same. The christian God and Allah are one and the same. Neptune and Poseidon; Mars and Aries; anything else?
