Soul Urge Number
Also called the Heart's Desire Number — calculated from the vowels of your birth name and describing your deepest inner motivations, what you truly want and what drives you at the soul level.
The Soul Urge Number (also called the Heart's Desire Number) is calculated from only the vowels in your birth name. Where the Destiny Number describes how you express yourself outwardly, the Soul Urge describes the inner world that expression comes from — your deepest desires, hidden motivations and the core of what truly satisfies you.
Many people find their Soul Urge Number more revealing than their Life Path — because it describes not what you do or who you appear to be, but what you most fundamentally want. The gap between your Soul Urge and your Life Path is often where internal conflict lives: the tension between what you feel called to do and what you most deeply desire.
Vowels used: A=1, E=5, I=9, O=6, U=3. The letter Y is treated as a vowel when it carries the vowel sound in a name (as in "Yvonne" or "Lynn").
How to calculate
Write out your full birth name. Identify every vowel (A, E, I, O, U — and Y when it acts as a vowel). Assign each its Pythagorean value. Sum and reduce to a single digit or master number.
