However, should he choose to do so, he can direct his attention, and thereby move in the direction he needs.

A "reversed" Knight of Swords is a loss of control over the process of directing the flow of information, power, and events.
A kind of "runaway horse", "loss of the reins", dragging the "knight" all over the place.
For example, the destructive impact of drugs, alcohol, or sexual addiction.

The Wands suit in Tarot. Clubs in a modern playing card deck.
.
The Wands suit in Tarot cards is associated with the element of Air.
The energy of processes and events at the Anahata Chakra[460 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anahata (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0)] level.
Therefore, the Wands suit in Tarot is responsible for the presence of attention in the future, for chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections.
.
In general, the Wands suit is characterized by the fact that its processes and objects can be depicted schematically, conditionally, structurally in a certain drawing or sketch.

Zero of Wands
.
A little girl comes home from school and says:
– Mom, can you imagine, Valerka kissed me right on the lips at recess! The mom, somewhat outraged, but also amazed, asks:
– And how did that happen?!
– Lenka and Svetka had him pinned down real good and kept him still!
.
Zero, according to the Kabbalah, is hidden, dormant potential, or something small and insignificant.
Wands are chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections.
Thus, the Zero of Wands is the dormant potential of chances, possibilities, parameters, and structural connections.
Or something insignificant from the available options.
For example, it may symbolize a lack of future prospects.

The distinctive feature of the Zero of Wands is a kind of analogue of the film "Groundhog Day"[474 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(film) (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C_%D1%81%D1%83%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0_(%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BC))].
Nothing happens, nothing changes, there's no development of any kind in any way.
However, when such a restrictions is created artificially, this is usually done for only a limited time. Since significantly increasing this period would, generally, increase the cost of such a restriction, thereby making it commercially unviable.

A "reversed" Zero of Wands is a fake or false suspension of changes and processes.
