Expression Number Calculator (Soul Urge & Personality Too)

Your name carries three numbers. Your expression number describes your talents, your soul urge what you want most deeply, and your personality number the first impression you give.

Use your full name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate.

How it’s calculated

We use the Pythagorean table, where each letter has a value from 1 to 9 (A = 1, B = 2 … I = 9, J = 1 and so on). All letters give the expression number, vowels the soul urge and consonants the personality number.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use my married name or nickname?

For your core numbers, use your birth name. Many numerologists also read your current name as a picture of the energy you’re using now.

Is Y a vowel?

Numerologists disagree. We count Y as a consonant so results are consistent; if you treat it as a vowel, your soul urge and personality numbers may change.
