Since starting his YouTube channel in 2017, Mademoiselle Ai has built up an extraordinary body of lectures and research on Western astrology. Alongside videos that cover the traditional foundations, you'll find in-depth explorations of the subject's central questions. These offer insights that go well beyond what most beginner and intermediate books cover. All told, his channel now features over 800 astrological videos.

The only drawback? Every one of them is in Japanese. Not to worry, though. You can easily watch them with subtitles in your own language.

  2. Display All OptionsTapping the screen will reveal all available options. To enable captions, you need to use the gear-shaped Settings button in the top right corner. Tap this button. (Since the “all options” screen looks the same on Android, you can follow these exact same steps for your Android device too.)

  3. Settings ScreenTapping the gear button opens a menu window. The item related to subtitles here is “Captions”. Please note that while it is called “Subtitles” on the PC version, it is labeled “Captions” on smartphones. Tap on “Captions”.
    Smartphone step 3: The Settings menu with the Captions item
  4. Captions MenuThe options in the Captions menu may vary depending on your smartphone’s settings. On this iPhone, the options displayed are “Turn off captions”, “Japanese (auto-generated)”, and “Auto-translate”. Select “Auto-translate” here.

  5. Auto-translate MenuIn this example, only “English” is displayed in the Auto-translate menu. Normally, a list of multiple languages should appear, but there are reports that the Japanese mobile YouTube app currently only shows English. We hope that multiple languages are available on the mobile YouTube app in your region. Then tap the English.
    Smartphone step 5: The Auto-translate menu showing English
  6. English CaptionsThe English captions are now displayed. While the auto-translation accuracy is still developing, it should help you grasp the main points of the video.
