See the link to a star chart of the sky over Los Angeles at current time. When it gets dark, the sky will have moved to the right (west) as I post this at 7:51pm PDT, so adjust accordingly. You can put in your own position and time to see the sky in your area.
Assuming you are at a similar latitude, Jupiter will be slightly to the left (east) of the moon, in the southern part of the sky, just left of the meridian at this time. It is the object labeled more or less like a '4' with an open top on the chart.
The very right pair to the west consists of Saturn and Venus, with Venus very slightly to the right (west) of Saturn.

It rises pretty early now and is up most of the night. It looks like a bright star. Not the really bright one in the west at sunset though. That is Venus. It will be in the east at sunset. See the source for a chart showing the positions of the planets from any place on Earth on any date and time you specify.

Today it is the brightest 'star' that is near the moon.
The coordinates are: r.a. 16h 43m 50s dec. -21° 38' 8" with a -2.4 magnitude.

that depends on your location (latitude). try one of these planetarium programs: http://astro.nineplanets.org/astrosoftware.html
currently, jupiter is near the moon, in scorpius.
