Direction from Eleanor the astrologer, privately (5-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

north-east

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'direction' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'from eleanor the astrologer privately' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NORTH-EAST' is hidden within 'eleanor the astrologer privately'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for north-east that I've seen is " Top right region on a map".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
