I've been trying to understand but everything ended up being quite contradictory.

Thanks!

Without a specific question or knowing what fell with it, nobody can say specifically what it alludes to in this reading. But it's a worrisome card under any circumstances, and when it's reversed it points to worsening conditions.

In a love Tarot reading, the Five of Pentacles reversed is a good omen to get. If you are in a relationship, it can indicate that you are overcoming previous struggles. That can take the form of improving the relationship at a steady pace and making positive changes. It can also mean making a decision, to free yourself from a relationship that’s no longer good for you. If your relationship initially caused a scandal, this card indicates that you should find people around you becoming more accepting of the relationship. If you are single, the Five of Pentacles reversed is a positive card to get in a love Tarot spread as it indicates that you are coming out the other side of a period of loneliness or feeling rejected. You will be making positive changes in your life and feeling much more open to the romantic possibilities all around you. You are ready to embrace a new relationship and take a chance on love. This positive energy will attract others to you.  

I don't do reversals to be honest but this looks plausible. The 5 of pentacles gives you a feeling of negative energies surrounding a relationship. In a reverse position these energies are also reversed. 

 

 

Depends of the other cards, but alone it can mean that they feel that they are not a good match anymore. 

 

Hey Holly...so it's just my opinion, but in reverse I would take it to mean that the person {or persons} in question will soon start receiving the financial/emotional/physical support that had been lacking in the relationship for so long. 

Five of pentacles in a love reading is something I would read as one or both parties in the relationship will be wanting for resources soon. They may have a strech of emotional unavailability, illness that makes their time less easy to give... or it could be that money is going to be an issue.

 

Now reversed, I'd see it as the opposite - emotional resources for a relationship are on the way, maybe closer than the individual maythink. Maybe even right though the next door.

5 of pentacles -  pointless contribution, I have tried many times and this has not led me anywhere. Worst card for emotional distress. Card of the loser, windmills, unrequired love. Reversed, it adds helplessness. Also, card of the lovers, who could not be together and can't find the joy in their emotions. Sad card, lasts for a  long time. In some cases it may present a relationship, which has been through all of this together, but finaly made it, but more often for people who are not separated it meens you don't feel appreciated or lonely with your partner.

Upright it can point to the ways you are disadvantaged. Unrequited love,  loneliness, wishing for what you can't have. Reversed - the pain will come to an end - but not necessarily in a pleasant way.

 

But context is all. These "meanings" mean nothing without the other cards.
