Soul Urge / Heart's Desire Calculator

Calculate your Soul Urge number from the vowels in your name.

Standard practice varies; common is consonant unless it's the only vowel sound.

Enter your full birth name above.

Uses Pythagorean values for vowels (A=1, E=5, I=9, O=6, U=3). Treatment of 'Y' can affect the result.

Discovering Your Soul Urge (Heart's Desire) Number

In numerology, your Soul Urge Number, also known as your Heart's Desire Number, delves into your inner motivations, deepest cravings, and what truly drives you at a core level. It reflects your underlying values and what you genuinely desire in life, relationships, and experiences, even if it's not always apparent on the surface.

This number is calculated using only the **vowels** in your full birth name.

How to Use

  1. Enter your **full name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate**.
  2. Select how the letter 'Y' should be treated (see note below). The most common approach is "Generally as Consonant".
  3. Click "Calculate Soul Urge".

The calculator sums the Pythagorean values of the vowels (A=1, E=5, I=9, O=6, U=3) and reduces the total to a single digit or a Master Number (11, 22, 33).

The Role of 'Y'

The letter 'Y' is ambiguous in English and numerology. Sometimes it acts as a vowel (as in "Lynn" or "Myth"), other times as a consonant (as in "Yellow" or "Beyond").

  • Generally as Consonant (Value 7): This is a common approach. 'Y' is only counted as a vowel (value 7) in specific, less common rule sets or if the user selects 'Always as Vowel'.
  • Always as Vowel (Value 7): Counts 'Y' as a vowel in all instances.
  • Contextual (Value 7): This is the most complex rule - 'Y' is a vowel if it's *not* next to another vowel *and* provides the syllable's primary vowel sound. This calculator's default logic might use the simpler 'Generally Consonant' rule unless otherwise specified in the JS implementation.

Your choice here can slightly alter the final Soul Urge number.

Interpretation

The Soul Urge number reveals your subconscious desires and the driving force behind many of your choices. Understanding it can help clarify your true motivations and what brings you fulfillment.

For example, a Soul Urge 1 might crave independence, while a Soul Urge 6 might deeply desire harmony and responsibility within a family or community. Research the specific meaning of your calculated number for deeper insights.
