This month, you can see a pair of planets before sunrise and another pair after sunset. In each case, one of them is situated near a bright star.
Before dawn, you can see dazzling Venus and not-as-bright Jupiter. Right next to Venus, but seemingly much dimmer, is the bright star Aldebaran. Throughout the month these three beacons rise higher in the predawn twilight and move farther apart.
Meanwhile, Mars and Saturn are the two bright planets in the evening sky. Not far from Saturn is Spica, and all three are nearly the same brightness. Early in the month, the fleet planet Mercury makes a brief appearance in the west about an after sundown.
