<upd_detl>Literally means that the goddess only has bangs, meaning that if you let her slip past you you will be unable to grab her hair from behind and take advantage of whatever opportunity she presents.</upd_detl>

<upd_refs>from a latin proverb that's not uncommon in English either, apparently.
full form is
   opportunity has hair in front, but behind she is bald;if you seize her by the forlock, you may hold her, but if suffered to 
escape, not Jupiter himself can catch her again.</upd_refs>
