Limits providing sure sign (10)
I believe the answer is:
boundaries
'limits' is the definition.
('boundary' can be a synonym of 'limit')
'sure sign' is the wordplay.
'sure' becomes 'bound' (synonyms).
'sign' becomes 'Aries' (star sign).
'bound'+'aries'='BOUNDARIES'
'providing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for boundaries that I've seen before include "Borders" , "Limits" .)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
