Right now Mars is very bright in the eastern sky at night at magnitude -2.35 in the constellation Pisces. It is none the worse for wear after its recent occultation by the moon.
Jupiter is very bright in the south (in Sagittarius) at -2.41. (With minus magnitudes, the higher number is brighter--but they are almost the same brightness right now.) Saturn is also in Sagittarius right now to the east of Jupiter at magnitude 1.25 (comparable to one of the fainter first magnitude stars).
