Various star signs led Sis to hand-signs, rockets and flares (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
distress signals
'hand-signs rockets and flares' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'various star signs led sis' is the wordplay.
'various' is an anagram indicator.
'star'+'signs'+'led'+'sis'='starsignsledsis'
'starsignsledsis' anagrammed gives 'DISTRESS SIGNALS'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
