Jupiter's up in the evening. Mars, Saturn and Venus are up in the morning. This morning, Saturn is very near the bright star Regulus, which should be really pretty. You'll want to be up an hour before sunrise or earlier to see it best, so set the alarm clock.
Check these web sites to see what's up:

The first three tell you about the bright planets that are up right now and mention the Orionid meteor shower. The fourth is mostly about observing Uranus and Neptune.

Knowing nothing about astrology is a very good thing.
But astronomy is a science, and is worthing learning about since the stars are visible every night.
Nothing particularly special tonight, but just before dawn the crescent moon, Venus, Saturn and the star Regulus will all be very close in the sky. Should be a very pretty sight (these are all fairly bright objects).

No, no, not astrology....that is all mumbo-jumbo. You are talking astronomy here. The crescent moon is supposed to be in the middle of a triangle formed by Venus, Saturn and the star Regulus in the constellation of Leo. You have to be up at about 5 am to see that. Look to the East.

The Moon will be close to Venus in the predawn sky. I saw the Moon getting close to Venus when I left for Work Friday morning and though it would look nice if it were closer. It was closer this morning, but I slept in, and it will be even closer Sunday morning. But you have to get up really early to see it. 6AM would be good. Look east.

I am searching now and will get back with you in a sec. I am from Waynetown, IN. I am an amateur stargazer and full time parapsychologist.
