The soul urge number is the sum of the vowels in your full birth name. Numerology reads vowels as the sound of the name, the part that carries inward, so this number stands for motive: what you want, what satisfies you, what you reach for when nobody is watching. It is also called the heart's desire or motivation number.
Take only the vowels of each name (A, E, I, O, U, and Y when it sounds as a vowel), give each its Pythagorean value, add them, and reduce to a single digit or a master number. The calculator above shows which letters were counted.
