Because in mythology Orion bragged about his skills and Zeus was annoyed so he punished him by sending Scorpio to sting him but an admirer of Orion named Diana asked the gods if they could put Orion in the sky to remember him by. They agreed but as long as Scorpio was put next to him to warn against such nasty crimes. In Orion's last dying breaths he begged not to be placed near Scorpio That's why Orion is seen in the winter while Scorpio is seen in the summer.
