Mercury lords Gemini and Virgo, both dual signs in the
zodiac and hence has a fluctuating temperament. Being the Prince, Mercury loves fooling around day and night.
Jupiter's intelligence should not be confused with Mercurial intellect, as Jupiter is the spiritual Guru or the pious preceptor, where as Mercury is that clever and shrewd sales guy who just sold comb to a bald guy. Both are knowledgeable and apt in their own ways.

Mercury is
closest and always within 28 degrees from the Sun, thereby forming
Budhaditya Yoga in majority of Charts. Mercury is used to the burns from
friendly Sun, hence is least impacted by Combustion.
Afflicted
Mercury gives mental anxiety and poor reasoning. Most of the illogical
and irrational folks you come cross have an afflicted Mercury.
Conjunction of Mercury with Mars makes one adamant and the one who
accepts that his life is nothing but a clutter of stupid mistakes, has his Mercury under the influence of Afflicted Saturn.
Mercury lords Gemini and Virgo, where also he exalts; he debilitated in Pisces, the sign of Jupiter.

Mercury
is the only benefic that changes color based on its conjunction in the
horoscope. When with Malefic, it becomes one too. Think of Mercury as a
smart kid, who knows how to survive in any circumstances, AND he wants
his share of Luxury - at any cost.
