Read the steps below to know how to calculate soul urge number. 

1. Write down your full name in a single line without space. For example

GAURAVSINGH

2. Count the vowels in your birth name. 

3. Assign every vowel in your name with its numerology number. For your ease- 

A= 1

U=3

E= 5

O= 6

I= 9

Y= 7 (in some cases) 

Y acts differently in other words. It sometimes acts as a consonant, so we only have to count it in cases when it makes a sound and acts as a vowel. 

For example in names like Emily, the letter ‘y’ will be counted as a vowel. You only need to find out its numerology number in cases where it appears as a vowel.

4. Now add all the numbers of the name’s vowels. 

Eg. GAURAVSINGH

      1+3+1+9 = 14

5. In case the total of the addition results in a two-digit number, you need to keep adding the number until you get a single digit. If the above example, the vowel numerology number equals 14, then you have to add both numbers, i.e 4+1= 5. In this case, the soul urge number will be 5.

Apart from the exceptions of master numbers 11, 22, and 33, your heart’s desired number will always decrease to one digit.

Also, remember that 10 is not a soul urge number. If you want to calculate soul urge number, it will always be reduced to one digit, i.e 1+0= 1. 

Some people also prefer an online numerology consultation to know what their soul urge number says about them.
