Of course also had Pluto conjunct ruler of Sun and co-ruler of Ascendant + 2nd Saturn Return during this period!

I had no permanent relationship. What comes, next day literally goes away. No time for commitments.

so my life was, basically turned upside down..

graduated from nursing school, changed positions in my job, asked for a divorce, became a widow...

freedom..freedom..freedom....was the key at that point, and as far as asc issues go, it became so very important for me to assert myself into life with my new found freedom, to act like i had never, and have never since...and that was 6 and 7 years ago.

depending on your age, was this your first contact with turanus and asc?

Generally indifferent to money, you prefer to devote your efforts to enterprises that are characterized by such clichés as 'relevant' and 'meaningful'. What you do is far more important than what you are paid for doing it. Your modernity is repelled by tradition, and yet you conform to another kind of tradition that is consistent with the values of your generation.

You refuse to stay confined in a career that does not give you some degree of freedom and mobility. A nine-to-five routine would be positively crushing to your individuality. The only reason you want an education is so you can make a better contribution to society, but you must learn to be wary of people who will take advantage of you and deprive you of even basic necessities. Giving is noble, but in this case poverty is stupid. You are not likely to seek a binding partnership unless it is by agreement rather than by contract. You remember rebelling against the close confinement of your youth, and you have no intention of repeating that experience.

You are disturbed by social injustice and hope that some day you can contribute substantially to eliminating those injustices. You need to know that your life's work is serving a wide human need. Closely identified with youth in society, you try to help young people exploit their creative potentials.

One of the central misunderstandings of modern astrology is the notion that points are as powerful as planets. They are not. Points only respond to the conjunction. Just as uranus transiting the 8th house does not effect the second house just bec it is in opposition to it - the ASC and other angles function the way houses function. They respond to what is in them. As angles, conjunctions by planets manifest in intensified form - because they are at the beginning of a new section of the chart - a planet transiting by conjunction represents the beginning of a period of transformation of that area. As the planet moves through that quarter of the chart, say from the ASC to the IC, the "I"/internal self is effected.
Planets are places of being and push back so to speak when another planet forms an angle. There is a tension. Points only receive energy. They do not project energy and therefore can only respond to a conjunction.

I am very interested in knowing more about this transit.

Many charts are not accurate enough at the Asc for the chart holder to even be able to safely assume such transits. However, I can answer based on my experience with a validated, well-verified Asc sign and degree.

Uranus sq Asc
This is a period of disruption in the normal relational setup of your life and you are not in control of it. With a Saturn transit sq Asc you'd be able to directly control relational stresses, even initiate changes or adaptations.

Especially when younger, this Uranus transit challenges you to draw on parts of yourself that you may not yet know or trust. You may go through a period of a couple years in which you find yourself a social misfit or experience the loss of a group of friends who move on while you search for a comfortable social fit.

If this transit is actually happening in your 10th, then these changes can come at the initiative of an ambitious parent or boss or other authority figure or government action. If it is actually in the 9th, then circumstances related to higher education or dealing with foreigners may be at fault.

Uranus pushes us outside our comfort zone so we continue developing instead of stagnating. This can be especially important for introverts or those with heavily fixed quality in their charts.

Also beware of interruptions of energy flow through the body at the spine or in the brain/nerve system in general. Sometimes during this transit the person will want to escape and find themselves compulsively exerting themselves physically if they feel they cannot escape the situation literally. Sometimes mental escape can be just as difficult on the health.

Some rising signs - more outgoing ones - and some people (depending on exact Asc figure) will find this Uranus transit overstimulating in the social sense, as well as in the level of activity. Beware of overcomitting or conversely, becoming unreliable.

This time is best for getting freedom from what bothers you about others. If there are people who irritate you or are disruptive to your freedom, if there are responsibilities you just cannot handle anymore, dump them.

If you are an adult with some practice at relationships, this does not have to be a time of breaking up, so long as things hang loose between you and the other person respects your freedom. Binding expectations can be relationship killers, however. Be equal and fair with whoever you are dealing with.

Evidence that Bucketrider's Asc degree is probably not accurate.

The related explanations are total nonsense. The Asc = Your personal 'Aries' point relating to the head/brain. It demonstrates how you think and you put your physical mechanism into motion. This functions through the eyes first which are projective organs that deal in light. In fact, this entire explanation by Bucketrider is a good demonstration of the human ability to impose one's internal assumptions upon the outer world.
