And besides Venus, Jupiter is clearly visible too... its very bright (not as much as venus, though) and very high in the sky at midnight (Or, rather, high in the sky in the south hemisphere... at the north hemisphere it must be not so high...) It is very near the Scorpio, and today (full moon) its very near the moon too. But, since there is not very bright stars near it, its easy to find anyway...
You can also see Saturn in the evening a few hours after sunset - its the medium-bright yellow star just to the right of Leo in the south/south-west sky. By the way, I took the pic of saturn in my avatar myself with my telescope and digi-camera
