At sixes and sevens, turn to her for direction (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

true north

'direction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at sixes and sevens turn to her' is the wordplay.
'at sixes and sevens' is an anagram indicator.
'turn'+'to'+'her'='turntoher'
'turntoher' anagrammed gives 'TRUE NORTH'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for true north that I've seen before include "In the direction of one of the poles" , "Position of maximum latitude" , "Pole" , "rarely needled when on the move" , "Direction aligned with earth's axis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
