What's the planet that I've been seeing in the Western sky in the evening?

Venus is the brightest, visible high in the west-northwest starting at sunset. When the sky grows darker, Mars, about 10 degrees to the east of Leo the Lion’s equally bright star Regulus, is noticeable. Along the same string of bright objects, Saturn shines brightly in the south-southwest, between Mars and Virgo the Maiden’s bright star Spica. When Saturn sets at 12:30 a.m., Jupiter rises in the East and is visible in the southeast even after dawn starts.

A beautiful lineup of bright planets and stars slants across the western sky the next few evenings. The anchor is Venus, the "evening star." Moving to the upper left of Venus, the other members of the lineup are Regulus, Mars, Saturn, and Spica.
