Venus and Uranus will share the same right ascension, with Venus passing 5°58' to the south of Uranus.
From South El Monte however, the pair will not be observable – they will reach their highest point in the sky during daytime and will be no higher than 9° above the horizon at dusk.
Venus will be at mag -4.6, and Uranus at mag 5.6, both in the constellation Libra.
A graph of the angular separation between Venus and Uranus around the time of closest approach is available here.
The positions of the two objects at the moment of conjunction will be as follows:
| Object | Right Ascension | Declination | Constellation | Magnitude | Angular Size |
| Venus | 14h48m30s | 21°50'S | Libra | -4.6 | 36"4 |
| Uranus | 14h48m30s | 15°52'S | Libra | 5.6 | 3"6 |
The coordinates above are given in J2000.0. The pair will be at an angular separation of 41° from the Sun, which is in Virgo at this time of year.
