Venus and Uranus will share the same right ascension, with Venus passing 2°10' to the north of Uranus.
From South El Monte , the pair will become visible at around 18:35 (PDT), 31° above your western horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. They will then sink towards the horizon, setting 3 hours and 35 minutes after the Sun at 21:10.
Venus will be at mag -4.3, and Uranus at mag 5.9, both in the constellation Pisces.
The pair will be too widely separated to fit within the field of view of a telescope, but will be visible through a pair of binoculars.
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 | 01h06m00s | 8°33'N | Pisces | -4.3 | 21"8 |
| Uranus | 01h06m00s | 6°22'N | Pisces | 5.9 | 3"4 |
The coordinates above are given in J2000.0. The pair will be at an angular separation of 46° from the Sun, which is in Aquarius at this time of year.
