What is the Bright Object Below Venus This Morning?

—

OK, so we saw Venus this morning between approximately 6:00-6:30 a.m. I tried to find out what this was and have no idea whether it’s a star called Spica or not. What puzzles me is how to tell what is down or up in relation to objects in the sky. We saw a scintillating object down and to the left of Venus.

We don’t have a telescope but I got a short video using an old Canon point and shoot. Does anyone know what the blinking object is next to Venus?
