My software says the Moon to Venus rate in your case was +0.271' per minute time. That's 67% of the total angular velocity of both bodies (100% means the bodies are moving directly toward or away from each other). 2020-01-29 22:10:00 UT1 42°58.80' N 70°57.40' E Thus, the multiplier to convert minutes of arc to minutes of time is about 1/.271 = 3.7 for that observation.
