What Is the Soul Urge Number?
The soul urge number (also known as the heart's desire number) is derived exclusively from the vowels in your name. In numerological tradition, it is said to represent your private inner world — what you truly want from life, your deepest motivations, and what drives you beneath the surface.
While your destiny number reflects what you are here to do and your personality number describes how others see you, the soul urge number is traditionally associated with what you privately want most.
How the Soul Urge Number Is Calculated
Using the Chaldean chart, extract only the vowels (A, E, I, O, U) from your name. Assign each vowel its Chaldean value, sum them, then reduce to a single digit.
Example: For the name RAHUL, the vowels are A (1) and U (6). Sum = 7. Soul urge number = 7.
Vowel values in Chaldean: A=1, E=5, I=1, O=7, U=6.
