Venus is above the horizon to the west, due to set in little over an hour here in Houston CST.
Jupiter is the next brightest 'star', about 4 o'clock from the Moon, not too far off from directly over head at zenith.
If you follow the path from the moon, over to Jupiter, and sweep across the sky toward the horizon, the brighter star will/should be Venus.

Some directions would be helpful, as would your general location.
Yes, Jupiter is close to the Moon.
Venus is in the western sky, after sunset, fairly low in the sky, and very bright.

Thanks Phage!!
I always got them confused. So Venus will always be in the western sky, or does it change location as the seasons change? (For some reason, I thought Venus was only west in the summer....)
