The numbers

Expression, Soul Urge & Personality

A name is read through three numbers. Together they sketch how a name is expressed, what it wants inside, and how it first appears.

Expression (all the letters)

From every letter of the name. Tradition reads it as overall talents and how a person shows up in the world — the "headline" number of a name.

Soul Urge (the vowels)

From the vowels only. Tradition reads it as inner motivation — what genuinely satisfies a person, beneath the surface.

Personality (the consonants)

From the consonants only. Tradition reads it as the first impression — the part others meet before they know you.

Reading them together

The real interest is where these numbers agree and where they pull in different directions. Every name page shows all three, and you can open any number in the library for the full reading.
