Mercury and Venus are visible low in the west at dusk. Mercury is almost 10 degrees higher than Venus and easier to see. After mid-month. their separation decreases and Venus appears far brighter than Mercury. Mercury is visible naked eye until the 26th.
On the 28th, as Mercury is stationary, Venus passes by at only half a degree distance. In a telescope, their two disks match in size, but Venus is 300 times brighter and 98 % illuminated, Mercury only 13 % illuminated.
Mars is still an early evening planet, wandering through Gemini.
Jupiter rises before 2 am and comes about 30 degrees high during dawn. It is separated from Saturn by about 18 degrees.

Vesta is still 7th magnitude in Leo, an easy object for binoculars.
During the morning of the 26th, the moon has its first total eclipse in two years. Totality is only 18 minutes long, just barely getting fully into the Earth’s umbra, from 4:10 to 4:28, just as dawn starts. The setting moon partially eclipsed around 5:25 should be beautiful.
The moon is only a degree from Venus on the evening of the 12th. Venus is easier to find than the moon since the moon is only 1 % illuminated, Venus is essentially full. If it is clear in the west, the moon will be just barely visible naked eye. Three days later, the moon will be almost as close to Mars.
