Soul urge number

The soul urge number is the reduced sum of the vowels alone in the full birth name. In the numerological tradition, it expresses deep motivations, aspirations and whatever nourishes a person inwardly, often without their showing it. Numerologists read it as the hidden side of the chart, to be compared with the personality number, its visible face. Whether Y counts as a vowel or a consonant changes the calculation from one school to another.
