🔮 Your Name is a Secret Code: Expression & Soul Urge Numbers

Imagine your name is like a treasure map. Every letter hides a special number, and when you find all the numbers, you discover amazing secrets about yourself!

🎭 What is the Expression Number?

Think of your Expression Number like your superhero costume. It shows the world what powers you have and what you’re really good at!

Your full birth name (the name on your birth certificate) is like a magic spell. Each letter has a secret number, and when you add them all up, you find your Expression Number.

🌟 The Big Idea

Your Expression Number = Your talents + Your potential + What you can become

It’s like having a backpack full of special tools. You might not use all of them yet, but they’re always there, waiting for you!

Simple Example:

• A child named “AMY” has letters A-M-Y
• Each letter equals a number: A=1, M=4, Y=7
• Add them up: 1 + 4 + 7 = 12
• Keep adding: 1 + 2 = 3
• Amy’s Expression Number is 3! (Creative and fun!)

🔢 How to Calculate Your Expression Number

Let’s learn the magic formula! It’s as easy as counting your toys.

Step 1: Know the Number Code

Every letter has a number friend:

1 = A, J, S
2 = B, K, T
3 = C, L, U
4 = D, M, V
5 = E, N, W
6 = F, O, X
7 = G, P, Y
8 = H, Q, Z
9 = I, R

Step 2: Write Your Full Birth Name

Use your complete birth certificate name – first, middle, and last!

Step 3: Add Up All the Numbers

Example: JOHN ADAM SMITH

J O H N = 1+6+8+5 = 20 → 2+0 = 2
A D A M = 1+4+1+4 = 10 → 1+0 = 1
S M I T H = 1+4+9+2+8 = 24 → 2+4 = 6

Now add: 2 + 1 + 6 = 9

John’s Expression Number is 9! 🎉

Step 4: The Special Rule

Keep adding digits until you get a single number (1-9) OR a Master Number (11, 22, 33).

✨ The Minor Expression Number

Your Minor Expression Number comes from the name you use every day – like a nickname or shortened name!

Why Does This Matter?

Full name = Your complete toolkit Used name = The tools you actually pick up every day

Example:

• Birth name: ELIZABETH → Expression Number 1
• Everyone calls her: LIZ → Minor Expression 3

Elizabeth has leadership skills (1), but in daily life, she shows more creativity and fun (3)!

How to Calculate

Same method as before, but use your everyday name:

L I Z = 3 + 9 + 8 = 20 → 2 + 0 = 2

Wait, that's not right! Let's recalculate:
L = 3
I = 9
Z = 8
3 + 9 + 8 = 20 → 2 + 0 = 2

So Liz’s Minor Expression is 2 – the Peacemaker energy shows up in daily interactions!

💖 What is the Soul Urge Number?

Now for the most secret number! Your Soul Urge (also called Heart’s Desire) is like the wish you make when you blow out birthday candles.

It’s what you really want deep down, even if you never tell anyone!

🌟 The Big Idea

Your Soul Urge = Your deepest desires + Secret dreams + What makes your heart happy

Think of it like this: Your Expression Number is your costume, but your Soul Urge is what you whisper to yourself when no one is listening.

🔢 How to Calculate Your Soul Urge

Here’s the fun part – we only use VOWELS!

The Vowels Are: A, E, I, O, U

(And sometimes Y when it sounds like a vowel, like in “Mary” or “Tony”)

Step-by-Step

Example: JOHN ADAM SMITH

Vowels only:
J O H N → O = 6
A D A M → A, A = 1 + 1 = 2
S M I T H → I = 9

Add them: 6 + 2 + 9 = 17 → 1 + 7 = 8

John’s Soul Urge is 8! He secretly dreams of success and achievement! 🏆

✨ The Minor Soul Urge Number

Just like Minor Expression, your Minor Soul Urge comes from the vowels in the name you use daily.

Why It Matters

Full name Soul Urge = Your deepest, lifetime desires Used name Soul Urge = What your heart wants RIGHT NOW

Example:

• Full name ELIZABETH → Soul Urge from E, I, A, E
• Used name LIZ → Soul Urge from I only

ELIZABETH vowels: E+I+A+E = 5+9+1+5 = 20 → 2
LIZ vowels: I = 9

Elizabeth’s deep Soul Urge is 2 (partnership), but as “Liz,” she shows a 9 energy in daily life (helping everyone)!

🎯 Putting It All Together

Your Expression and Soul Urge work together like a superhero and their secret identity!

Example: Mary Jane Watson

Full name: MARY JANE WATSON

• Expression: All letters added up
• Soul Urge: Only A, Y, A, E, A, O (vowels)

Used name: MJ

• Minor Expression: M + J = 4 + 1 = 5
• Minor Soul Urge: No vowels in “MJ”! Just the initials, so we look at the feel of the name

🌟 Remember This!

1. Expression Number = Your talents and potential (ALL letters in birth name)
2. Minor Expression = Daily talents (ALL letters in used name)
3. Soul Urge = Your secret heart wishes (Only VOWELS in birth name)
4. Minor Soul Urge = Current desires (Only VOWELS in used name)

Your name is your personal numerology treasure map. Every letter counts, every vowel reveals your heart, and together they show the amazing person you’re meant to become! 🌈✨
