I'm not sure what you are seeing this evening. Venus is about 40 degrees ahead of the Moon. At this moment, 8:45 PM in northern California, Venus is about to set, while the Moon is still high in the western sky. Saturn will be rising very shortly, but is nowhere CLOSE to the Moon. No other planets are visible this evening.

There are two relatively bright stars fairly close to the Moon; Hamal and Sheratan. Perhaps you are seeing one of those.
