ABOUT MERCURY AS A 'GRAHA' ('BUDDHA DEVA')
Astronomically, Mercury is the planet that is nearest to the Sun. Not only that, it is the smallest planet (a little bigger than the Earth's Moon), with the fastest orbit time ( a year on Mercury is only 88 days) and no atmosphere, no satellites!
Mercury is actually a very fast moving celestial body that astrologically is never more than one sign away from the Sun. Astronomically, we can often sight it an hour before and after sunrise. That's because of its close proximity to the Sun, it is often difficult to spot otherwise.
In 'Vedic' astrology, Mercury or 'Buddha' is the planet of intellect, commerce, siblings, friendships, curiosity, business and above all, speech & communication.
Mercury is never truly debilitated or exalted to be honest because Mercury represents the kind of intellect one has. Now to put it into perspective for you: Whose intellect is superior? A painter's or an accountant's? There's no comparison right? They are just two very different expressions of the intellectual capacities of these individuals.
So irrespective of whether Mercury is 'debilitated' or 'exalted' in the birth chart, unless it is afflicted, Mercury takes on a lot of traits from its nakshatra placement, planetary aspects & conjunctions. This is because one's intellect is shaped by one's surroundings to a huge extent.
See 'Buddha' is the 'deva' of learning, communication, skills, dexterity and observation skills. It's an energy that grows with stimulation and often also requires a lot of stimulation in order to continue to grow and expand.
Wherever Mercury is placed in the chart shows where the individual will have the most curiosity and intellectual activity in the area of.
ABOUT MERCURY RETROGRADE:
'VAKRI' Mercury OR 'RETROGRADE' Mercury is considered by many an 'affliction' to the chart.
You see, retrograde planets are more powerful in their presence in the chart and the individual's life therefore Mercury acquiring more prominence in this way cannot be considered an 'affliction'.
It is true that it can often lead to an individual whose life is a slew of miscommunication, challenges in communication & difficulties in speaking one's truth & expressing one's talents in the world.
However, those problems have a 'purpose' in that the individual is supposed to embody more mercurial traits as part of the journey of growth of their soul in this lifetime.
You see the 'graha' of 'Buddha' corresponds to the 'Buddhi' (intellect). When it is retrograde, it shows that the individual's life purpose involves a lot of intellectual pursuits, discovery & expression. So whenever it is retrograde, there is definitely an incomplete mission wrt these significations that the individual's soul has brought forth from a previous lifetime(s).
This is why this placement often produces individuals who are inventors, entrepreneurs, great artists, actors and performers etc.
The most notable examples would be Steve Jobs & Robert Downey Jr.

I would encourage viewers to have a healthy and spirited discussion in the comment section so that we can expand more/ share more on this topic.
Please be informed that miscreants, trolls and impolite, uncivil individuals shall be blocked right away. I have no tolerance for nonsense. This is serious stuff that I have spent my life researching and studying and I expect the same if not more level of reverence for this knowledge and what it can mean for you in terms of the achievement of your destiny and 'moksha'.
