Italian term

dignità

Italian to English Other Poetry & Literature
E aspettare il tempo quando benigne stelle siano nell’ascendente e nel mezzo cielo, e li pianeti si guardino con buoni aspetti fra loro e con le fisse stelle, e siano in dignità perché molto dispongono e aiutano alla nobiltà della prole. E far che tutti usino la generazione nella mancanza de’ menstrui, che sia netto l’utero e non ammorbi il seme col menstruo, e dopo la mezzanotte, fatta la digestione, perché è cresciuto il seme, e non fa danno al generante disturbando lo spirito dalla nutrizione e scemandolo.

they are in "dignity" or they show dignity?

in dignity

This is astrology, which has its own very technical terminology. The fixed stars, the planets, the ascendant and dignity (not that I believe in this stuff, of course ;-) ).

Dignity (H)
when a planet is in a sign that it rules it is said to be in dignity. This makes it stronger.

honorable

Something like "they are honorable" might work. I don't think you can translate literally here.

My thesaurus is one of my most precious tools as a translator, and is very useful for texts like these. Just my 2 cents anyway.
