 Context examples 


Why, you whelp, you even won other fellows' girls away from them, not because you wanted the girls, but because in the marrow of those about you, those who set your moral pace, was the instinct of the wild stallion and the bull-seal.

(Martin Eden, by Jack London)

Any planet on what is called the angles of the chart—the first house of personality, the fourth house of home, the seventh house of marriage and serious committed relationships in love and business, and the tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement—acts in a very strong way, like a wild stallion.

(AstrologyZone.com, by Susan Miller)

Whenever a major outer planet like Saturn settles into one of the four angles of the chart—the first house of personality, the fourth house of home, the seventh house of marriage/committed partnerships, or the tenth house of career fame and honors—that planet is considered exceptionally strong, like a wild stallion making his presence known.
