Sun signs are the months of an ancient calendar, seeing a zodiac in the stars to reflect the earthly seasons.
Scorpio is when scorpions hibernate and crops are planted, so Scorpio signifies death and rebirth.

Equinox today is the moment the ecliptic crosses the equator, but was once the days that equal the nights - Latin, "dies equinoctii".
So we now mark a single moment, not a period of a night and a day, and on a slightly different date from in ancient times.
