two remedies to the Virgo trap:

1. think less
2. act more

Doesn't matter how you do them, long as you make it work for you.

>long as you make it work for you.
but that implies thinking a lot otherwise its just a pointless action.

You take pointless action to get the feedback you need to know what to think.

thats where Im lost, how can a pointless action lead to anything else besides a thought 'it was pointless'. Sure, you might stumble upon something great eventually but the whole idea implies the unlikeness of it happening.

That's where the 'as long as you make it work for you' comes in. As someone with a Virgo ascendant, I often find the need to seriously consider things from multiple angles and feel it in every detail before taking action, but oftentimes life presents us with situations which have no correct answers, and thinking will yield no results. In these cases, the rational mind must pass the buck of decision-making to either animal instinct or spiritual intuition. 

If in most cases, you find that reason is a boon to you, then you have he ratio down. If otherwise you feel yourself stuck in a loop and incapable of decision, then your only options are to keep spiraling in the hopes of finding a answer at the bottom(which admittedly there is on occasion), or you pass the buck and make do with a seemingly pointless course of action. 

You would not believe how often this works. It's a small miracle every time it happens, but it certainly explains how less-rational people make their way through life at all. Instinct and intuition are truly merited faculties.

I myself have three planets in Virgo and the whole notion of just 'turn the rational mind off' seems too risky. Maybe its because all my biggest choices in life were in a 'choose the least worst option out of two' and not something I decided on my own like a desire which I felt intuitively. Also the other positions support the clash of consciousness and subconsciousness in which only apathy and nothingless is left just like a devastated field after a battle.
