Morphology

aspected = aspect (semi-transparent) = aspect + ed

Formally 'aspect' + '-ed' is clear, but the astrological sense of 'aspect' is specialized and not known to all learners.

Etymology

Aspected in astrology also comes from aspect, with a root meaning 'to look', as you can see in inspect. So a planet is 'aspected' when it sits at a certain 'angle' to another, and that 'angle' is thought to 'affect' how the planets influence life.
