Venus and Mars have now crossed over into Capricornus and will slide under the pair of stars α and β over the next week, heading toward their rendezvous
with Saturn, which has not yet risen high enough for me to include in the pictures.  Venus is still 3° 28' north of the ecliptic at magnitude -4.50 while
Mars is 1° 14' south of the ecliptic at magnitude +1.22.
