Namaskar,
Looking up this evening, you will have a very dark sky as it will be amavasya ( new moon) later today.
If one looks to the southern sky you will see Jupiter (Guru). Guru will be brightest in the sky. What is of interest, if you have a 25X or greater binoculars, you will see Jupiter's moons [we know 63 of them] without any effort.
You are looking at Jupiter at 16° in Scorpio and the Nakshatra of Anuradha. This asterism is owed by Sani. This nakshatra postion is owned by Mitra, hence a friend, to bring people together.
I have been watching them this week, as its interesting to view a graha standing still for a day ( doesn't look much different); You can also see what angle Jupiter (tilt) is at on its own X/Y axis by the angle or degree the moons are to this luminous body. You will also see a star below it.
It looks red and its Antares. Many mistake it for the red planet Mars.
It is a great boon for the light of Jupiter to enter ones eyes and consciousness ( from an astronomer point of view).
