Providing were not covered with the usuall cloud in the next weeks you will see 5 planets in the sky at the same time.
The only time that all 5 will be visible will be immediately after sunset.
Shortly afterwards the first of the 5 Mercury will set.
Facing West and looking at the Moon, Saturn will be above it, mars directly below and Venus (the brightest) below that with Mercury just above the tree line.
Jupitor will appear on the horizon shortly after and they will be in that order for the first couple of weeks.

I stand corrected on Jupitor as that will appear overhead.
