Glossary Numerology

Soul urge number

The soul urge number is calculated from the vowels alone of the full birth name. Each vowel receives its value from 1 to 9 in the Pythagorean table, and the sum is reduced to a single digit. Often called the heart’s desire number, it describes a person’s deep longing, their hidden motivation and what truly moves them, beneath the image they present to others.

What it touches in you

Your soul urge number speaks of what you want deep down, sometimes without even telling yourself. It is the quiet engine behind your choices, the need that wants to be fed. Listening to it means putting words on an old hunger and letting yourself steer your life toward what makes you fully yourself.

How to work it out

Pick out all the vowels in your full birth name, give each one its value from 1 to 9, add them and reduce to a single digit. Then set this number beside your personality number: the gap between the two shows you the distance between your inner drive and what you let others see.
