I think instead of equinox you mean ecliptic (the line planets etc all travel on) - after dark mars is low in the sky - almost due North below the constellation of Orion (big constellation with belt of 3 stars in middle, red star bottom right corner & white/blue star in opposite corner).
Saturn is NE(or just E of ), starts off quite low just after dark, there isn't much there, and it is the brightest object around that area if i remember correctly.
I have attached some stellarium screen shots which should assist you
