I watched Saturn about 3 months ago, but I haven't been able to locate it recently in the night sky. I assume that for at least half the year it is overhead only during the daylight and not visible.

You can see Saturn for the next two weeks in the evening sky after sunset before dark West-Northwest. You find it within a few degrees from Venus, the brightest object in the western dusk. After that you have to wait until late September to see it again in the morning sky in the east.

Check your Detroit paper. It should show the rising and setting times of the visible planets. Since it takes about 29 years to circle the sun, it is moving through the zodiacial constellations at about 1 constellation per 2-1/2 years, and would appear approximately at the same time the constellation in which it is located appears. If you can't find it in the Detroit paper, try to get a Washington Post.
