Soul Urge Number (Heart’s Desire): How to Calculate It and What It Means

What the Soul Urge Number shows

Numerologists link vowels with the inner voice, so this number is read as your private wishes and what makes you feel fulfilled, even if other people do not see it.

It is often compared with the Personality number, which comes from the consonants. When the two are very different, people may see you quite differently from how you feel inside.

How to calculate your Soul Urge Number

1. Write your full birth name.
2. Pick out the vowels: A = 1, E = 5, I = 9, O = 6, U = 3.
3. Add the vowel values together.
4. Reduce the total to one digit, keeping 11, 22 or 33.

Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept rather than reduced; read more about them on the master number 11 page, or see the full rules on our methodology page.
