Why is "Sousei no Onmyouji" translated to "Twin Star Exorcists"?


How exactly does _Sousei no Onmyouji_ translate to _Twin Star Exorcists_?

I tried Google Translate, but that didn't give me any satisfactory results. So
what do _Sousei_ and _Onmyouji_ literally mean?




Here is an interlinear gloss for the title:

[code]

    双    星    の  陰陽師
    sō    sei   no  onmyōji
    twin star ɢᴇɴ [onmyōji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onmyoji_\(disambiguation\))
    "Twin Star Exorcists"
    
[/code]

Allowing some freedom in translating _onmyōji_ (which has no direct English
equivalent) as "exorcist" ― which is a reasonable choice, given that driving
out evil spirits is basically what they do in the show ― this is an otherwise-
literal translation and not really a question of much interest.

Do not expect Google Translate to be of any use when translating English ↔
Japanese.
