It depends upon a couple of things.
1) Where you are located.
2) Where you are looking.
Venus is in the western sky with a magnitude of -4.2 and is 17 degrees above the horizon, whereas Jupiter is rising in the east with a magnitude of -2.6 and is 7 degrees above the horizon. Saturn is decending in the west with a magnitude of 1.6 and 39 degrees above the horizon. All this is from my vantage point of the west coast at 10 p.m.

Happy star (or planet) gazing :)
