What are star cross lovers?

Answer 1

It suggests that they are unlucky, that they have bad horoscopes.

Answer 2

To cross means to get in the way of someone. You know, how if someone crosses right in front of you it gets in your way. In Shakespeare's day, they used this word to describe all kinds of interference: Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew says of Kate's argumentative nature "Evermore crossed and crossed, nothing but crossed!" It's spelled "cross'd" not "crossed" in the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet so the actor will know to pronounce it in one syllable "crosst" and not two "cross-said".

People nowadays still pay attention to Astrology, to the notion that the movement of the stars can control people's fate. The stars stand for fate, for a destiny that is out of your control.

So, "star-cross'd" means that their love is interfered with and ultimately prevented by circumstances which are out of their control.
