'a sign on high' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'somehow raise' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'raise' is an anagram of 'ARIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aries that I've seen before include "Sheep" , "Ram star sign" , "Zodiacal sign also known as the Ram" , "star group" , "First sign of the zodiac" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
