The origin of the symbols for the zodiac signs appears to be lost in history. Some of the symbols appear in Greek horoscopes which are about 2,000 years old, some of them seem to be alchemical signs, and some of them relate to the shape of the constellations themselves.
The symbols for Virgo and Scorpio are remarkably similar, since they are both created from an identical 'm' - an ancient medical symbol. Both Virgo and Scorpio are associated with medicine and healing. The two constellations of Virgo and Scorpio are extremely large and easily identifiable in the night sky. The enclosed shape in the symbol for Virgo and the 'sting' in the scorpion's tale have been described as the feminine and masculine versions of the same symbol.
