That's several degrees below my horizon. They don't clear the trees until ~08:40.
At 06:00 on the 18th the two planets will be 25 arc minutes apart and 8° above my horizon if it were flat.
The article is mainly for northern hemisphere observers and is using universal time. 04:00 UT is 14:00 here in Queensland.
