Download this. Its totally FREE. You can then enter your actual earth position. It then gives you see a virtual sky with names etc.

I'm a virgo which means I'm a perfectionist if that's any help. Apparantly I'm going to meet an old friend and have some interesting news from a close relative this week.

Sounds like Orion to me and you just didn't catch the full set. Some interesting planetary line ups at the moment if you get a clear sky too.
