Why is Mercury such an odd ball planet?

I'm not really sure if there's even a real answer to this, I've just noticed Mercury seems to play by its' own rules.

For example--why is it the only planet that shares domicile and exaltation with one sign (Virgo)? Which also means it is both detriment and fall in Pisces.

Also, the two signs it naturally rules square each other in the same modality (Virgo/Gemini) but I guess you could say the same for Jupiter (Sag/Pisces).

It's not seen as a benefic or malefic, it's kind of like a "tofu" planet. It just acts like whatever it is mixed with.

Transits to natal Mercury aren't usually as noticeable as transits to the other personal planets. Saturn hitting your Sun or Moon or even Venus is likely to be felt and noticeable but transits to Mercury are kind of unremarkable, that is until it goes retrograde and then all hell breaks loose.

Bascially thats the gist of it, the biggest question out of all of these is why it shares domicile and exaltation in Virgo.

Today we have two musical birthdays to celebrate, and I’ve thrown in a few more to commemorate what America at its best means to me. Because these tunes represent some of the greatest songs in history, kick back and enjoy pure American music! First, July 4 is the birthday of one of America’s greatest songwriters, Mister Stephen Foster (July 4, 1826 – January 13, 1864). While this “Father of American music” is mostly forgotten today, his songs live forever and are still part of the Great American Songbook. In his very short life he wrote over 200 songs, two of which have become official state songs, and one was the anthem of the California Gold Rush (“Oh Susanna.”). A...
