Venus is rapidly moving eastward on a line north of the ecliptic, through Scorpius toward Ophiuchus, for its January 22 conjunction with much more slowly moving Jupiter.  However, when viewed from the perspective of "elevation above the horizon at the same time each morning," then it appears that Venus is more or less hanging stationary each day while Jupiter appears to climb out of the dawn to meet his brighter sibling.  On this morning, Venus is magnitude -4.40 and Jupiter is -1.83, with a separation of 10°08'20" between them.
