What sets Soul Urge Number apart
The Soul Urge, also called the Heart's Desire, takes only the vowels of the full name. A E I O U always count, and Y is counted as a vowel only by rule in a few cases, such as when it is the sole vowel in a syllable. Each is turned into a number by the Pythagorean table, and the total is reduced, so it measures the inner sound of a name rather than its whole form.
- Letters used: vowels A, E, I, O, U, with Y by a case rule
- Values: A = 1, E = 5, I = 9, O = 6, U = 3
- Worked example: ANNA: the two A values give 1 + 1 = 2
- Y rule: schools differ: always a consonant, or a vowel when no other vowel sounds in the syllable
Often mistaken for something else: The Personality Number is the consonants of the same name; together the two add up to the Expression Number.
