Good luck finding it to be honest.
Unless you actually know, the one you think it is almost certainly Jupiter and if not, its probably Venus.
the stars will guide you!

If you’re ever genuinely lost in the woods, stay put so a search party can find you easier. If you are going into the woods, it’s helpful to prep so you don’t get lost or get found fast. A radio can help both with letting authorities know you’re lost, as well as with locating you via its signal. You can also now wear these special reflectors that help locate people under snow (many winter coats now come with them embedded on them). GPS are always very good to have, too.
Learning to read a map and having the local one with you is very powerful but easily messed up if you don’t have practice. You can triangulate your exact position with a compass and the local mountain peaks, which makes it much easier to know where you’re going. A good practice of way finding is to always be walking towards a specific thing a few hundred yards out or less. So. You orient yourself with the stars, compass, or gps; decide which direction you want to go; pick a specific thing in the direction you want to go, that you can see a ways away; and walk to it. Then, pick another object in the same direction and do it again.
Of course, it’s much easier if you generally know which way town is, it’s also better to know the mountain peaks of your local terrain to orient yourself than the stars (the stars change throughout the year, the peaks don’t), and a compass beats the hell out of stars and a GPS beats the hell out of a compass.
