Scorpius means "Scorpion" in Latin.The constellation Scorpius (known as Scorpio by fortune-tellers) is one of the few constellations that actually looks like the thing it is named after. It resembles a crawling thing with a hooked tail and pincers.
Probably becasue it is in another part of the sky.There is a mythological significance to this, but since it's just a made up story, it has nothing to do with the actual reason why, which is that the two constellations are very nearly opposite each other in the sky.
These are called circumpolar constellations.
Scorpio constellation is between Libra and Sagittarius constellations, opposite to Taurus constellation. It is currently (era 2000) found, in its greater portion (~ 5/6), within the sign of Sagittarius. Antares (αSco), is currently found in the 10th degree of the sign of Sagittarius.
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.
