As I understand it, to put it crudely, the Trump II the High 
Priestess represents psychic power, magic power, and the 
unconscious mind. As for the Fool, let me quote what I posted to 
the list where I found out about this quiz:

I wasn't sure whether to pick Order or Chaos, but I got Trump X both 
ways.
