The planet Venus has just passes the "inferior conjunction", when it goes between the Sun and the Earth. Venus now appears as a VERY bright object low in the eastern horizon just before sunrise. This is probably what you are seeing.

Venus will rise earlier and earlier for the next 2-3 months as it races ahead of Earth in its orbit; then it will start to rise later and later until it goes behind the Sun about 4 months from now.
