There was no room for it.

The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer mark the most southerly and northerly (respectively) lattitudes at which the sun appears directly overhead at noon. At the time they were named, the sun was in the direction of the two named constellations. It was not in the constellation of Aquarius or any of the other ten signs of the Zodiac, hence there are no tropics named after them.
