Usually if a constellation is not visible, that's because it is below the horizon.Note that stars and constellations participate in two movements: a daily movement due to Earth's rotation, and - superimposed on that - a yearly movement due to Earth's orbit around the Sun (this makes any specific star rise four minutes earlier every day).
