Now, Venus has moved clear of Mars and Saturn, off to the east, and has almost crossed into Aquarius en route to her encounter with Jupiter at the end
of the month.  On this morning, Venus is magnitude -4.28, Saturn +0.85, and Mars +1.06 which makes it now almost exactly equal to Antares.  Click on
the image to see the ecliptic and note that now Venus is closer to it than Saturn or Mars.
