Vowel of Your Inner Truth: The Soul Urge Number

In numerology, your Soul Urge Number, also known as the Heart’s Desire Number, reveals to you your major desires, motivations, and personal truth that drives you from the point of view of your soul. Unlike other numerological numbers, which focus more on outer expressions, the Soul Urge Number brings to the forefront what makes you tick – your inner emotive forces that drive your activities, choices, and your sense of accomplishment.
The soul urge number is derived from the vowels in your full birth name. In numerology, every vowel is said to have soft, intuitive energy relating to the native’s inner world and their unconscious desires. To calculate this number for you, translate the vowels in your name into numbers using the numerology letter-to-number system: A = 1, E = 5, I = 9, O = 6, U = 3. Add up these numbers and boil them all down to a single number, or what we call a master number, such as 11 or 22.
For example, if your name were “Emily Jane Smith, you would focus only on the vowels: E, I, A, E, I; then add up their corresponding numbers to determine your Soul Urge Number.
The Soul Urge Number tells you what your soul needs to be happy. It’s a guide that shows you which experiences in your life will bring fulfilment or satisfaction. A Soul Urge Number of 2 means you need harmony, partnership and balance, whereas a Soul Urge Number of 5 means you need freedom, adventure, and change.
The Soul Urge Number tells you what brings you joy, which is aligned with your heart’s real purpose. It makes it clearer why some activities or environments feel fulfilling and others do not, even those which are objectively rewarding. It leads you to decisions that will honour the deepest needs of the heart. And hence, it is said that this number represents powerful insight into one’s deepest motivations, a way to further self-awareness, contentment, and even spiritual balance.
It is the number to one’s heart.
