This transit is not necessarily about endings, but about transformations (which of course might come with an end before )I think the nodes take 19 years for one cycle, so 19 years ago.
As for how long it lasts, depends on what orb you use. Personally I feel one degree is the central-orb, though you might feel it before and after that orb, too.
I am going to have this transit myself.due to retro and direct motion of the nodes it will be a bit longer in 1 degree orb than usually: 5th march - 2nd june 2015.
The time I had it before was from 29th july - 10th september 1996.
It was a hard time for me personally. My maternal grandfather had suffered a stroke in january, and this was around the time we were renovating so he could live with us, as my mom wanted to take care of him. It was a growing up-time for me, too.
However when the transit was exact, we actually were going to London, my first time in London. And it was one of the best, most impressive, deepest experiences in my life. (my aunt was at home nursing my grandfather at that time). I just felt very connected to the energy of the city (I still feel sort of pumped up with energy, whenever I am there. lol)
Interestingly and purely unintentionally, when the transit becomes exact again next year we will make another family trip to England (Cornwall this time, Tintagel, Glastonbury and some others). It almost seems like for me my Pluto and espectially the Tr NN to Pluto is somehow connected with England. lol
Pluto is in my 10th house (conjunct MC) and rules my 11th and 12th house.
A man I know had this transit within 1 degree orb from 28th july 2014 to 24th august 2014; his first child, a boy, was being born on 31st july, so for him this was definitely a transforming aspect, but couldn`t have been more happier!
his Pluto rules 8th house and is in 7th house.
my best friend is going to have the exact transit from february - may 2015. In april she is going to expect the birth of her 4th child.
Pluto rules her 6th house, but is in her 5th.
for my mom she was having this transit from june-july 1980; which was when we moved from her hometown (and a rented appartment) into the house of my paternal grandparents. Pluto is in her 3rd house.
she was having the same in 1999 again, which was when she and my dad were married for 25 years, and they were doing a trip to Norway which both loved, and despite of course mourning for her father`s death, af ew months prior to this, it also had been sort of a liberation.
On a not so nice note, one of her brothers decided he did not want to have anything to do with us anymore (Pluto in 3rd, right? The brother was a Scorpio too. lol)
my dad had the Transits around the same time as her, well a tiny bit earlier. lol
