Planets appear to move horizontally when they are in that part of the ecliptic that lies horizontally across the southern horizon at midnight (seen from the northern hemisphere). That occurs when a planet is at a right-ascension of 18 hours (in Sagittarius), and a couple of hours either side. A snapshot of the planet taken every night at midnight shows it moving horizontally (approximately) from right to left. All planets do this.
