Heart's Desire - Soul Urge Number

This is the inner you. It shows your true motivation, your inner cravings and urges, likes and dislikes. It reveals the general intention behind many of your actions, and dramatically influences the choices you make in life.

Heart's Desire (aka Soul Urge) number is one of the core numbers that include your Life Path Number, Expression (aka Destiny) Number, Day Number (the day you were born on), and Personality Number.

Each letter in your name is given a single digit number, based on the chart below. The Heart's Desire/Soul Urge number is derived from the vowels (A, E, I, O, U ... and sometimes Y) of your full name at birth.

Pythagorean Numerology Numbers Alphabet Letters Chart

To calculate your Heart's Desire/Soul Urge number, assign each vowel of your name a number from the chart.

Do this separately for your First Name, Middle Name (if you have one), and Last Name (Surname). For each of your names add the numbers up separately, reducing them down to a single digit value. When you have the numbers for each of your names, add these up and again reduce to a single digit to come up with your Heart's Desire/Soul Urge Number.

Note: If at any time in your calculations you encounter a master number (11,22, or 33) do not reduce it any further.

What about the letter Y?

The letter Y is a bit tricky to use. Sometimes it is considered a vowel and at other times a consonant, depending on how it is used and how it sounds within the name.

When to use the letter "Y" as a VOWEL

when Y serves as a vowel and sounds like a vowel , or when Y is the only vowel in the syllable (Mary, Carolyn, Betty)
when Y precedes another vowel in a syllable and provides the vowel sound (Bryan, Wyatt)

When to use letter "Y" as a CONSONANT

when Y follows another vowel, and it doesn't provide for a separate vowel sound (Murray, Hayley)
when the syllable already has another vowel (except when Y precedes another vowel in a syllable and provides the vowel sound)
when the Y is used in place of a J sound ( Yamaha, Toyota, Yoda)

Below are couple of example calculations, but you can also use the Name Number Calculator further down which will do the job for you 😉

Example Calculation 1: John Winston Lennon

Hello. My name is Michell Ann Myers. I would think that the y in my name is a vowel but it is being calculated as a consonant when using the Name Numbers Calculator. Is this correct? The calculator provides the numbers 9, 11, & 7.

  Hi Michelle, it is up to you to decide how you pronounce your name ... normally the Y in words such as layer, canyon, beyond, etc., are considered consonants because the Y provides a soft J sound, I would think similarly to your name Myers. However if you would like to force the calculator to see the Y as a vowel, simply use the # symbol in its place ... in which case all your numbers will be 9 : )

My Life Path number using my birthday is 7 and my Soul Urge number using my name is also 7. I guess I'm a 7:)

But if you calculate my life path number one way I get 16/7 - scary. Another way I get 25/7 - not so scary. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

  I've also read that you shouldn't use your birth year to get your life path number. If I calculate it this way, I still get. Concerned about that karma number though.
  Thanks again.

    If you don't use your full birth date you are not trying to find your life path number. Also I can't help you much if you don't provide your DOB : )

Hello there ,let me start by saying I've never attempted to read or understand numerology before, that being said I am very good with numbers and I am curious to know what the reduction factor is. I was thinking that maybe it was based off of the number of vowels divided by the number of consonents. But I don't think that's right. My first attempt left my numbers all sorts of messed up according to your chart. I recieved a 8 for Gabriel, a 8 for William, and a 9 for Petrie. I am trying to learn something new and I am very open to criticism and ideas. Thank you.

  Me again, thought it would be funny to mention my birth weight was 8lbs 8oz and I was born Aug 17, 1992.
