In numerology, the Soul Urge—or Heart’s Desire—number is said to reveal your deepest motivations. While other numbers describe your talents or life direction, this one highlights what you truly long for, often beneath the surface.

For Lykkers interested in self-discovery, learning how to calculate your Soul Urge number from the vowels in your name is both fascinating and practical. This guide takes you through the step-by-step process and shows you how to interpret the results with ease.

Finding Your Soul Urge Number

The Soul Urge number comes from the vowels in your full birth name. These vowels are thought to represent inner feelings, your emotional core, and the desires that guide your decisions. The calculation might look a little tricky at first, but once you try it, it feels simple and even fun.

Step 1: Understand the Vowel Values

In numerology, each vowel has a number assigned:

A = 1

E = 5

I = 9

O = 6

U = 3

(Y can sometimes count as a vowel, depending on how it sounds in your name. If it acts like a vowel, include it.)

Step 2: Write Out Your Full Birth Name

Use the complete name given to you at birth. List out all the vowels in it. For example, the name “Jane Doe” includes A, E, O, and E.

Step 3: Add the Numbers Together

Convert each vowel into its numerical value and add them. Using “Jane Doe”:

A = 1, E = 5, O = 6, E = 5 → total = 17.

Step 4: Reduce to a Single Digit (or Master Number)

Add the digits together: 1 + 7 = 8. That means the Soul Urge number is 8. If the result is 11, 22, or 33, you can keep it as a master number for its stronger meaning.

What Your Soul Urge Number Reveals

Once you’ve calculated the number, the exciting part is understanding what it tells you about yourself. Each number highlights emotional drives and the inner “why” behind your choices.
