∙ 15y agoStar crossed literally means against the stars. However in the context of the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet it means condemned to be unlucky, in this case doomed to die, by their stars. In Shakespeare's day people thought the stars had an influence over your life. Strangely enough, people who read horoscopes still do.

∙ 11y ago"Star crossed lovers" means their love was foretold in the stars as being doomed from the start. Spoiler alert, but both Romeo and Juliet die a tragic death at the end, which fulfills the doomed love. (Not really, if you read the prologue it spoils the entire book in about 4 paragraphs)

∙ 14y agoAstrology was a popular subject in Shakespeare's day. It was widely believed that a person's destiny was written in the stars. In the case of Romeo and Juliet their potential happy future is "crossed" or opposed by the actions of the stars, which is to say, circumstances beyond their control.
Shakespeare underlines this concept by repeatedly using the words "star" and "stars" in his imagery throughout the play.
