Epoch or so possibly to create stars (9)
I believe the answer is:
horoscope
'stars' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'epoch or so possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'epoch'+'or'+'so'='epochorso'
'epochorso' is an anagram of 'HOROSCOPE'.
'to create' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for horoscope that I've seen before include "Stars" , "Prediction based on one's star sign" , "Forecast of fortune" , "Astrologer's prediction" , "Forecast of a person's future based on the heavens" .)
