Mercury, that also revolves around the sun, take its round inside the inner orbit traced by the Earth. However, it completes its circle within 88 days while the Earth takes 365 days to complete it.

Mercury is also called Buddha in the Hindu Mythology who is believed to share enmity with the Moon. However, it is said that Moon, on the other hand, feels quite opposite.

Since it is nearest to the Sun, Mercury is the friend of Apollo. Even in Western Astrology, Mercury is considered dualistic. There, they believe it lacks concentration within its native.

Budh is God Kesava, Narayana, Madhava in the Hindu mythology.

Mercury is a dualistic, vacillating planet that is variable, convertible, feminine, effeminate, neutral, and dualistic. This planet does not act on its own but depends on the zodiac signs and houses it is places into at the time.  

Mercury is convertible because if it is associated with beneficial components, it will serve as a benefic planet for your horoscope. If it gains malefic aspects and conjunctions, on the other hand, it will become malefic for your horoscope. It has a Vata (airy) nature. It has a northerly orientation. It is exalted at the 15th degree in Virgo and debilitated at the 15th degree in Pisces.

This planet is the deity of third and sixth house in Kaal Purush Kundali in Vedic Astrology. Mercury signifies the fourth and tenth houses. The fourth house represents happiness which is why Mercury would work better here.
