Tonight, Nov. 25, it is MARS, not Venus or Jupiter.
I went outside and looked a short time ago and Mars is
just a short distance east of the moon. You can tell by
the orange color. Earth passes by Mars in orbit every 2
years & 2 months, and will pass Mars in orbit next month.
Incidentally, it looks the same no matter where on Earth
you view it from. Tomorrow night the moon will be farther
east and will be on the other side of Mars.
Hope this answers your question.

That became into Jupiter close to to the Moon final nighttime. Venus is presently basically seen only in the previous dawn. Mars is seen interior the morning hours yet nonetheless no longer incredibly vivid, sitting on the western end of Gemini, only north of Orion.

By 'east' you mean that it is below the moon as it rises in the sky.
Mars is very close to the Moon (and Mars, being very bright and orange color can be seen despite the Moon's brightness).
Mercury is very close to the Sun and it rises barely a half-hour before the Sun.
Venus is in the morning sky (very bright and definitely white); the Moon will be close to it in a week or so.
Jupiter is very close to the Sun and almost impossible to see: it sets barely a half-hour after the Sun.
Saturn is half-way between Mars and Venus (the Moon will be close to it around Nov. 30.

All I know is that a very bright star just above where the sun rises (the east) is Venus.

It's Mars. Venus is only visible in the morning (not the evening).
