It depends where you are. Some planets can be seen overhead at different times at latitudes up to about 24 or 25 degrees, but at higher latitudes they are never overhead. They are highest in the sky at midnight in the winter. At that time they are passing through the constellations of Taurus and Gemini when seen from the northern hemisphere, or Ophiuchus and Sagittarius from the southern hemisphere. That applies to all eight planets.
