Numerology – Variations in numerology
Pythagorean numerology is the most widespread system used in the Western world and this is what we will be using to calculate the Soul Urge Number in this blog, but you might also be interested in looking up Chaldean and/or Kabbalistic numerology too.
Numerology – Soul Urge Number facts
The Soul Urge Number is derived from calculating the vowels in the First and Surname of your given name (which is the name on your birth certificate). Some numerologists however include the letter Y within this calculation, it’ll leave it up to you as to whether you want to do this.
Numerology - How to calculate your Soul Urge Number
Using your given name, (which is your name at birth) you can now calculate the Soul Urge Number using the table below, which gives the values of the vowels.
For example:
Name: Maria Smith
Calculate the names separately, or it gets confusing:
First name: Maria is calculated as follows: 1(A)+9(I)+1(A)=11
If you have a double-digit number here, then add them together: 11 will be calculated as 1+1=2
Surname: Smith is calculated as follows: 9(I)
So now you have both names numerical values. Now simply add them together: 2+9=11
So again, this is double digit, therefore add the two digits together: 1+1=2
Soul Urge Number: Maria Smith soul urge number is 2
NOTE: Middle names – If you have middle names on your birth certificate then calculate these as well, and add them to the final sum.
