The scorpion.

This constellation lays between the Marksman and the Scales in the Milky way. The Godness hunter Artemida sent a scorpion to kill Orion. Arat writes: "When the Scorpion rises in the East, Orion makes hust to disappear in the West". The Sun comes into Orion constellation in 22th of November when it passes to nonzodiac constellation Snakecarrier on 20 days. Obviously, Snakecarrier must be in zodiac instead of Scorpion!

Antares of Scorpion means in Greek a rival of Ares (of Mars). This bright star really looks like Mars. Antares is an unusually beautiful visual double star, the most bright component of which id red, and the less bright - greenish. The constellation has a lot of nebulas and star accumulation.
