Soul Urge number
3
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
The vowel U carries 3 on its own, and three As anywhere in the name do the same job. Ada Clark has exactly that: A and A in Ada, A in Clark, and 2 plus 1 makes 3.
Taylor in 1926 says vowels show talents already earned and stored in the subconscious mind. Put beside the same book's note on the letters C, L and U, that suggests ease with joy and art, a combination the book does not spell out. Walton in 1914 lists mirth, gladness and inspiration for the number.
Today's popular books say a Soul Urge of 3 longs to be heard and to delight people, often through words or color. Cheasley in 1916 wrote that 3 leans on the experience of 1 and 2 as its anchor, and Balliett in 1905 gave 3 a mission of blessing others. Modern readers have kept the delight and mostly set the mission aside.
