After the rapprochement with the Moonthe planets Jupiter and Mars approach each other.
It is above the horizon and in the first light of dawn, around 2:30 a.m. UT, that you will find the planet Mars.
Above this, very slightly to the left, you will find the planet Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar system.
Contrary to the illustration, Jupiter does not occult Mars.
