MessageYes but not necessarily all the time. The current planetary orbits are "fixed" due to the Sun's gravity. But the Sun's gravity doesn't negate all or any other celestial bodies gravity including the other planets in the solar system. The Moon's gravity is still felt hear on Earth as high tides and not negated by the Sun's gravity.
The article in one part is saying if by chance Jupiter and Mercury's orbits fall in resonance of the same time cycle, Jupiter's gravity will have a greater effect and be able to pull Mercury enough to change it's orbit. Possibly sending it into Venus (Maybe somewhat like bumper cars.).
Jupiter is the biggest object only second to the Sun in the solar system (Though still not as big as the Sun). During it's formation if it had more mass it may have ignited fusion and became a star itself.
