Not sure your location. I'm in Florida and lucky for me the path the planets follow across the sky, the ecliptic,  is quite high above the Southern horizon. 

Here if you look South about 5am, Jupiter and Saturn will be to your right, slowly setting in the West.

Jupiter is very brilliant, one of the brightest things in the sky. Above it to its and your left, Saturn is much dimmer, but still easily seen.

Mars is almost straight ahead of you, at the zenith, following the ecliptic. It is also very bright and looks redish.

Down close to the Eastern horizon will be Venus, which is normally the third brightest thing in the sky after the Sun and then the Moon.

They are all quite easily seen with just your eyes. 

I live in south east of UK mainland. It looks like you are blessed seeing these magic happening in the sky. On sunday early morning it was very cloudy, yesterday night was clear skies. Again today, it looks cloudy. 😩

Mars & Venus are not too far apart at the moment and rise after midnight / early morning, and Saturn and Jupiter are close to each other but rise earlier in the night.

Hi, Are you saying I can see saturn and Jupiter when am facing towards south east tonight? That would be lovely. Not sure what i saw early this morning as it was shining and bigger than other stars. Just attached the video, think i was facing north east. 

I finally found my answer. My bad i got my directions wrong at first, I must have either looked at Mars or Jupiter in south east during morning and Venus in North west last night (opposite to Mars) . 

I tried to take two pics as i thought it was a planet rather than a star. The one, that was taken early morning, I focused my phone camera pointing towards south east at 3.10am and the night pic was taken pointing north east at 11.45pm. Can someone advise me whether these are planets. If yes, is it possible to identify which planets by looking at it?
