There are definite things all around us, but just because something is definite for one person (living in Oregon) doesn't make it definite for another (living in Tahiti.)
In essence, every card could represent just about any situation that arises. The 10 of spades/swords, for example, is a pretty unhappy card traditionally read, but their placement in a reading could signify a delirious (but short) marriage. The sorrow indicated by its upright placement would, therefore, represent the eventual outcome of the marriage (deep and abiding sorrow because of the short duration, maybe due to accident or violence, most likely violence) but it would take an experienced and dedicated reader to pick out that nuance, since most others would automatically go with getting married would be a 'bad' decision, leading only to pain and suffering (completely ignoring the happiness that preceeded it.)
Even the major arcana only suggest forces, and there is as much strife contained within the Lover's card as the 10 of swords. A good reading is always in the details, and sometimes those details are not always as obvious as they may appear.
