This card as usually presented shows a man in motley striding along, heedless of the dog which tears his garments and threatens to attack or warn him. If he was willing to pay attention to the lesser danger, start looking down to malkuth/Assiah/Earth instead of focussing solely on the heavens, where he manifested from, he could avoid the greater danger of falling own the cliff.

In the Golden Dawn pack an effort is made to reveal the deeper meaning. A naked child stands beneath a rose tree bearing yellow roses - the golden rose of joy as well as the rose of silence. While reaching up to the Roses, he yet holds in leash a grey wolf, wordly wisdom held in check by perfect innocence. The colors are pale yellow, pale blue, greenish yellow- suggestive of the early dawn of a spring day.

The rose is a symbol of venus, love, and he gifts it freely to anyone without further examination, trusting in the good of people.

The sun takes a prominent place in this picture, as it represents the expression of the self in the zodiac and relates to the higher self the fool is connected to.

However, the fool doesnt look directly mind the sun, which also stands for illumination of mind and path to see the dangers ahead, but looks to the left.

The staff (symbol of devine energy) travels from the sun (symbolizing the heavens or the zodiac) to the left toward the fertile earth, which has been given form. If we consider this Chokmah - Binah correspondence on the Qabalic Tree of life we notice the fool is actually looking toward Keter and trying to cross the Abyss to be one with the One God.

He needs to be mindful of Binah (Saturn, Capricorn, Satan) to not fall to his death.

Also we count a total number of 9 roses. 9 being a number of Mars we can establish a mars venus conjunction representing fertility, the reconsiling of paradoxes into ONE. The Fool is the equilibrated conjunction of Mars(Geburah) or Venus(Netzach) in Tiphareth(Jesus, the sacrificial God and closest image of god the mind can comprehend). Ironically through it's sacrifice Tiphareth can become one with it's father, Keter, where it originated.

Did I miss anything?

I revise my statement. I think sol should equate to tiphareth, not chokmah.

so the fool has the devil on his shoulder (26th path)

I've always thought that he may actually be creating the path as he walks it.

This is a good resource for learning the major arcana as intended. A good exercise for the novice is to strip the minor arcana out of the deck, then draw a card daily to observe the day in the light of, as a way of experiencing the energies of the trump cards firsthand. If keeping a dream journal, drawing a card before bed is an excellent practice as well. You can always do the minor arcana as a second exercise in the same way(s).

The High Priestess card is the second major trump and the most powerful symbol in it is the pair of pillars—Boaz and Joachim—behind the priestess herself. My favorite depiction of the High Priestess comes in the long scene towards the beginning of The Holy Mountain (1973).

The two pillars, to me, symbolize most strongly the Left and Right hand paths. Everyone comes back to these twin pillars, standing firmly on the foundation of the material and standing ready to bear the weight of spirit. One pillar alone is a flimsy bearing, but two together can bear an arch (as is seen depicted of the two pillars in a lot of other art). This arch becomes a door to the Second World (source: navajo), bringing with it the knowledge of the worlds we came from. This is the third world, whose geometry is based on the number 4, I don't know why that is and it never made sense to me but that's what they say. The Navajo have this whole color thing about how blue/turquoise are a symbolic reminder of the world we come from (pure spirit), red is a reminder of the current world and yellow reminds us of the fourth world we're on our way to.

The point of the HP is that she's a messenger and a guide, showing us the way to higher knowledge. While the magus is someone who pursues knowledge and has the tools to gain it, and the hierophant is a bridge between worlds communicating on behalf of the divine, the High Priestess shows the door to higher knowledge itself. The HP is the guide to becoming the hierophant.

The Mage is the first card in the major arcana (the Fool is 0th) and symbolizes the Initiate having all the tools in front of him, prepared to begin his Work. It symbolizes this because it's You, the Reader, with all the tools at your disposal. This card may as well be a picture of the computer monitor. You can look it all up right now, the rest of the trumps.

The exact symbols chosen are the suites of the major arcana. The cup symbolizes emotional power, while the sword is intellectual power. The wand symbolizes daring will and the coin symbolizes material wealth. All of these are forms of power and they are shown in their aspects through the minor arcana.
