(this is mine lol)
- what does a birth chart consists of?

it consists of planets/asteroids and the signs inside these (also known as placements), houses, a circle chart, aspect grid, house system, and infos of your birth (date, time, location).
- where can i calculate my chart?

one of the most trusted sites u can go to is http://astro.com  (aka astrodienst).

note that co-star is NOT trustworthy bc it has no astrologers at all, and cafeastology is only good for learning and not calculations hehe.
here is also a thread of astrologers/astrology pages u can follow for greater depts of understanding !! 💗 https://twitter.com/txtastros/status/1310974675648786432?s=19
- what are planets/asteroids?

the planets/asteroids determines what are the functions or how a sign is controlled (ex: i am a cancer sun, this sun sign is my personality). moreover, most of these rule a zodiac sign (ex: mars is aries' and scorpio's home planet).
you might be wondering why the sun, moon, & pluto are called planets here when in astronomy they are not called planets. in astrology, these heavenly bodies just completes and embodies traits + fits the planet criteria in astrology (rules a sign / gives purpose/command to a sign)
- is the rising sign/ascendant a planet?

nope, its not. its a house but it is just as common as saying what your sun sign or other placements is. and i will be explaining these later !!
