This is a great example of how the same energy (ambition, drive) shows up differently by element. Leo is fixed fire - warm, expressive, needs to be SEEN. Capricorn is cardinal earth - reserved, structural, shows care through action rather than words.

Your manager giving you more responsibility without hovering is actually a big compliment in Capricorn language. It might help to ask directly for the kind of feedback you need rather than waiting for it to show up unprompted - Capricorns tend to respect direct, practical requests.

omg yes, my old boss was a capricorn too and it took me way too long to realize "here's a bigger project" WAS the praise lol

update: I actually asked her directly for more specific feedback like MarcusAstro suggested and she seemed almost relieved I asked?? said she assumed I'd tell her if something was wrong. definitely getting easier
