What is the Soul Urge Number?
Your Soul Urge Number (also called your Heart’s Desire Number) reveals your deep inner motivations, emotional needs, and true desires. While your Destiny/Expression number shows how you express yourself in the outer world, your Soul Urge describes what your heart really wants and what feels emotionally fulfilling at a soul level.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This number is calculated using only the vowels in your full birth name, written exactly as it appears on your birth certificate. It shows the kind of love, connection, lifestyle, and experiences that make you feel truly alive inside.
Use the Pythagorean Numerology Chart for vowels:
1 = A
5 = E
9 = I
6 = O
3 = U
(Y can sometimes be a vowel. For simple calculations, you can start with A, E, I, O, U only.)
Step-by-Step Calculation
Write your full birth name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate.
Circle only the vowels in each name (A, E, I, O, U – and Y if it clearly sounds like a vowel in that name).
Convert each vowel to its number using the chart above.
Add the vowel numbers for each part of your name separately.
First name vowels
Middle name vowels (if you have one)
Surname vowels
Add those totals together to get one large number.
Reduce the final total to a single digit by adding the digits together.
If you get 11, 22, or 33, keep it as a Master Number and do not reduce further.
Quick Example
If your name is Emily Rose Carter:
Emily → E + I = 5 + 9
Rose → O + E = 6 + 5
Carter → A + E = 1 + 5
Add all the vowel numbers together, then reduce until you reach a single digit (or 11, 22, 33).
