This time I have both constellations in sight.

It is easy to see Scorpius as a scorpion. It's heart is Antares, with three star above it forming the head and claws. It is also easy to follow the stars on the other direction forming a "J" shape up to its sting or thorn.

On the other hand, it is quite hard to imagine a centaur for Sagittarius (or even Centaurus). Many resort to view it as a "Tea Pot". It makes a lot of sense to me - a triangle on the left is the lid, four stars on the lower left form the handle, the pot's mouth points towards Antares.
