Horoscope's focus with respect to third of zodiac given sudden emphasis (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sforzando

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

'given sudden emphasis' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'horoscope's focus with respect to third of zodiac' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is found within the answer.
'to' could be 'for' and 'for' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sforzando that I've seen before include "suddenly emphatic" , "Given sudden emphasis" .)
