Venus - Mars : positions february and march

Venus and Mars at the evening sky - Mach 13th. The angular distance is now more than 3°. Big difference in comparison with 0,28' mid February. Below pictures show nicely the orbit from both planets and how their position changes between each other. The first picture shows Venus "below" Mars. The last one shows Mars 3° "below" venus.
Uranus should be as close to 0.17' from Mars but could not be observed due to cloud formation - unfortunately.
