In the first week of September, Mars will lie low in the west and near Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. You’ll need a clear western horizon to spot them in the evening twilight. Then on September 12, Mars will line up with Spica, which currently shines much brighter than the red planet. After mid-month, Mars will become more difficult to spot low on the western horizon. Mars will be descending more each night this month, setting with the sun by month’s end.
