Convert the full birth name with the letter table and sum it in three ways. The expression number counts every letter. The soul urge counts the vowels only (A, E, I, O, U, and Y where it carries the vowel sound). The personality number counts the consonants only. Each sum is reduced to one digit, keeping 11, 22 and 33.
The expression number is the name as it operates: what a person does well and how the work shows. The soul urge is the interior appetite, what the person actually wants, and it is deliberately hidden from the outside by construction, since it counts only the vowels. The personality is the surface, the impression the name makes before anything is said. Read together they describe a discrepancy as often as a harmony, and that discrepancy is the useful part.
Some schools call the expression number the destiny number. Many count only the name as given at birth and ignore married or adopted names; others read the current name for everyday matters and the birth name for the life. Hyphenated and compound names may be treated as one name or as two. The Y rule changes every number that depends on it, so a reading published without stating the rule is not reproducible.
