Hello there,

I don't quite get the meaning of this sentence. I know the vocabularies but to me it doesn't make any sense when putting them all together. Here is the sentence:

"He needs a woman who is grounded and in-tune with the realities of life so she can help him keep his feet on the ground"

Does it simply mean a woman who is to get along well with him or what ?

Thanks

What is the source of that sentence?
 
Re: Meaning of sentence

It just a quote from a horoscope kind of thing. Do you want to get the full version ?

No, but in future, please tell us the source of any text you quote.

Please note that I have changed your thread title.

Yes thanks for reminding me, I was told before but the phrase is just too long. I will remember next time. The source is from the site called zodiac-signs-astrology.com.

Thanks

It means a woman who is realistic, down-to-earth, practical and rational, rather than one who is idealistic and unrealistic, a dreamer.
