Born 1928–43, with Neptune in Virgo? Then a partner’s Venus in Cancer or Scorpio makes the sextile.

To check it by degree: Neptune at 10° Virgo makes the sextile with Venus anywhere from 4° to 16° of Cancer or Scorpio — the 60° angle give or take 6°. The chart goes by sign, but the sextile also forms across a sign line: Neptune at 1° Virgo and Venus at 29° Libra are 58° apart, a semi-sextile by sign.
