Many Elizabethans, including the Queen, were strong believers in Astrology, that is, that the stars and planets control the lives of people. Romeo and Juliet were lovers whose love was "crossed" (thwarted, prevented) by the action of the stars, by matters beyond their control. Hence, "star-crossed".
