Seven of Pentacles Reversed

In my limited experience, Seven of Pentacles Reversed suggests that meaningful work is simply not available, there is a trapped feeling in the person. Seven of Pentacles Reversed showed up at the Near Future position in a Celtic spread I did for the relationship between a close friend of mine and myself. Our relationship reached a low and it seemed to me that there are nothing I could do except not to mess him off, id est to say not to find him at all. But isn't this a vicious circle? How am I suppose to mend anything if I am not allowed to go and mend anything? The Seven of Pentacles Reversed at this near future position suggests very well the dilemma that I am facing. (Extra note: For this particular situation I looked at the Moon Reversed showed up at the Self position and Knight of Wands showed up at the Hope and Fear position. They could be valuable for me to come up with some kind of solution to the trouble I am facing. If I am not gonna change anything, the outcome would probably be the loss of a friend as indicated by Ace of Cups Reversed at the outcome position.)
