How does Mercury behave and how to use it positively?

Gratitude

Mercury is regarded as the prince of the celestial system, and for good reason. One of its most significant traits is that it governs a person’s intellect and communication abilities.
Just as every coin has two sides—though in today’s complex world, it often has more than two—Mercury, too, can influence intelligence in both positive and negative ways.
The key to understanding its impact lies in the environment in which Mercury is placed and the planetary influences surrounding it.
A deeper insight is that Mercury, much like its elemental counterpart, is the fairly reactive metal with hot acids. This means it reflects the influence of the planets it interacts with and the areas of life it affects.

Additionally, as the celestial prince, Mercury exhibits the curiosity and adaptability of a child, constantly absorbing and responding to its surroundings.

Lets talk about some interesting combinations of Mercury like:

Mercury is considered beneficial when placed with Sun, Jupiter, Venus
Mercury is considered Malefic when placed with Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu

Mercury is considered beneficial when placed in house no. 1,3,6,10
