Mars and Saturn can be seen, this week, after sunset. With binoculars, you should be able to pick out Saturn's rings. Mars looks as if it is in Gemini. Saturn appears to be in Cancer. Those star groups though, only give us a rough guide to the planets' actual positions. In the more accurately calculated "tropical zodiac", Mars is near the end of Cancer and Saturn is at the beginning of Leo. The planets are in a 'disassociate conjunction.' That's encouraging for anyone with an obstacle to overcome. Even if there's no obvious way to get past a restriction, some unexpected route will present itself if you look hard enough.
