In Pythagorean numerology, the soul urge number is part of the 5 core numerology numbers. Of course, the are also many other important numbers like the bridge numbers, the karmic lesson numbers and the various numerology cycle numbers, but these 5 core numbers are the ones that most clearly describe our most distinct personally traits, strengths and weaknesses and these are also the numbers that most vitally influence our life path and destiny.

Now, let's have a closer look at the soul urge number. As its name already indicates, this number describes your deepest urges, your most innermost yearnings and greatest desires. In other words, this number indicates what you really want in your life. This also means, that in order to find happiness and true fulfillment, you should allow your most important career decisions, your choices of life style, your relationships... to be guided by this number.

The soul urge number allows you to realize who you really are and what exactly you want from life and it will help you to make the right kind of choices in your life. This in turn will allow you to fully express your true, innermost nature and to experience a deep sense of fulfillment and happiness in your life.

How do you calculate your soul urge number?

This number is calculated from the vowels (the letters A, E, I, O, U) that appear in your name. In numerology, each letter corresponds with a number. The letter A corresponds with 1, E = 5, I = 9, O = 6 and U = 3.

Simply write down your full name as stated on your birth certificate and put the corresponding number under each vowel. Then you add the numerical value of the vowels in your first name and reduce the result to a single digit number. The master numbers 11 and 22 are not reduced.

Now you do the same with your last name and with your middle name(s) (if you have any). And finally, you add the numbers of your first-, last- and middle names and reduce the result to a single digit number, except if it is one of the master numbers 11 or 22, which are not reduced. And this is your soul urge number.

As you can see, it is relatively easy to calculate this number. You can also calculate the soul urge number for some of your friends, family members or colleagues and you will see that those people with the same soul urge number will have very similar dreams, desires and life expectations.
