As for locations, Jupiter will be at its highest point (31 degrees) at 2307 in the northern sky, approx 3 or so handspans west of the moon. (Oops prolly a lot more by now, I was thinking of last week)
If you have a good view west (243 degrees) mars sets at 2217, so any time beforehat is good for him. Mars also isn't as bright as the other planets, but is easily distinguishable by its reddish appearance.
If you're up late or early, Saturn rises at 0235 in the direction of 106E.
And Venus rises around the 430am mark too in roughly the same area Saturn did.
Hope this helps.
Use the same technique you used to find the moon and it should be sweet.
