Sign on embassy for those taking standard position in congress (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

missionaries

'those taking standard position in congress' is the definition.
(reference to the missionary position)

'sign on embassy' is the wordplay.
'sign' becomes 'aries' (star sign).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'embassy' becomes 'mission' (I've seen this before).
'aries' after 'mission' is 'MISSIONARIES'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for missionaries that I've seen is " ministers sent abroad".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
