What is the relationship between love and blindness? What is the connection between love and justice? St. Valentine, imprisoned for performing illegal marriages, cured a young girl of her blindness.
“Love is blind,” is a common saying. Shakespeare wrote: “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
It is interesting that Lady Justice, holding her scales, is often depicted wearing a blindfold — justice is blind. The symbol which represents Libra is a scale.
Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love. Somehow, Love and Justice have a connection, and they also share blindness.
It is an interesting thought: how to be just in love, and how to bring love into justice.
