It's important to know how to calculate your Soul Urge / Heart's Desire number. All you'll need are the vowels in your full birth name. The letter Y can be a vowel or a consonant depending on its placement and sound. (Hint: If it follows a consonant and carries its own sound, it's a vowel.)

Okay, now don't be worried about the math, its really simple arithmetic. This technique has been used for centuries, however, the origins are a mystery. Some believe it originated with the Philosopher Pythagoras.

History in a broader view shows that many different cultures throughout time have used similar strategies. I have studied Eastern numerology and some Chaldean numerology but I enjoy Pythagorean numerology best so that is what we will use here.

Here's an example of what the steps will look like if your name was Anne Mary Smith. 

  • Anne = 1,5,5,5=16/1+6=7
  • Mary = 4,1,9,7=21/2+1=3
  • Smith = 1,4,9,2,8=24/2=4=6
  • 7+3+6=16/1+6= a Soul Urge of 7!

Using the above chart assign the vowels of your full birth name the representative number. Once you've completed that step add them up, you will likely have a multi-digit number.
