Jupiter is bright in the sky right now, and has a bit of an odd color, especially just above the horizon. Look at it through some binoculars and see if there are any little ‘white dots’ around it. Those would be its moons.
That would be my bet. Sounds like about the right position in the sky for where Jupiter is right now.
In our dark location last Monday or Tuesday, looking at Jupiter, we and a friend could see Ganymede (~ 4.7 mag) naked eye. He and my wife could also make out Calisto (~ 4.9 mag), but none of us could see Uranus (~ 5.8 mag.). Had to block out the full moon.
Binoculars and Stellarium confirmed what we were looking at
