The soul number comes from adding the vowels in the name. Always work with the full name at birth. Prefixes and suffixes such as Mr., Mrs., Jr., senior, II, III, Esq. are not considered part of the cosmic name, and not figured in the total name. Place the number value of vowels above the letter in the name. The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. The letter Y is a vowel one is sounds like E, has in the name Mary. Is not a vowel in the name May. Y is also a vowel when it is the only vowel in the syllable, as in the name Sybil. W is a ball when it follows D or G as in the names Dwight or Gwendolyn, begins it carries the vowel sound.
We will use our example, Ada Wynn Lunt, born November 12th, 1940. To arrive at Ada’s soul number, we had the vowels in her name:
1 + 1 + 7 + 3 =12/3
A D A W Y N N L U N T
The Y in Wynn is considered a vowel because it is the only vowel in the name. The 12 is reduced by adding the first digit to the second, or 1 + 2 = 3. The number 12 is then written 12/3.
Discover your soul number but following the same procedure. Then read the explanation of the basic soul number (single digit) given below. For a finer delineation of the double digit, turn to part 2.
in our example, Ada has a soul number of 12/3. She would read number three under the basic soul number section, which follows. Should then turn to part 2 and read the number 12/3 personal members vibration, which gives a deeper look into her real self.
Your soul number is your real personality, the you that is known only to you. If one embraces the philosophy of reincarnation, the soul member also indicates what you have been in previous lifetimes. This part of your personality is not easily recognized by others unless they know you very well. The soul number is what you, in your inner secrets self, desire to be. This urge may be so strong that it can overcome other vibrations of your four basic numbers. Since the soul number reveals something of accumulated growth in past lives, it becomes an underlying force, which influences the actions of your present life. If, however, the soul remains repressed by outer circumstances, or lack by of involvement, the soul fails to accomplish its purpose, it may need to repeat the same vibrational urge in a future life, until it finds its true expression.
