The planets follow circumference line across the sky close to moon circumference line. So, if you know where the moon rises and sets you can follow that line across sky. Looking south after sun goes down and nearly straight up you will moon ( or you might not depending the time of month moon cycle) orange planet Mars and looking further SW along the circumference line you will see Jupiter (won’t see Saturn it will be behind Jupiter at that date and time) the second brightness object in the sky (not counting moon). It Jupiter should be close to 20 degrees off the horizon on line where sun when down by 21st.

You can get free app for IPhone or IPad that identifies objects in sky and universe. I have sky guide app.

I haven't looked for it yet, but been told to look west after sunset. Lower right side of the moon. Hope this is correct, but you may want to corroborate.
