Bearing guidance (9)
I believe the answer is:
direction
I believe this is a double definition.
'bearing' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'guidance' is the second definition.
(I know that guidance can be written as direction)
(Other definitions for direction that I've seen before include "Command" , "Course along which something moves" , "Course in which something is travelling" , "Management" , "The way in which something is moving" .)
