in the western sky under the moon tonite (depending on your location).

Extremely clear here tonite.

Mars and Saturn on the opposite side of the plane of the ecliptic too. Depending on your location, all four naked-eye visible planets are up.

I only saw one a minute ago-- very bright and pretty close to the moon. Would that be more likely to be V or J?

V is brighter and higher in the sky, J is less bright and below V
