Soul Urge number
4
Numbers describe tendencies in a symbolic tradition. They cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
About this number
Joan Page shows a route: O and A in Joan add to 7, A and E in Page add to 6, and 7 plus 6 makes 13, then 4. Taylor's 1926 letters for 4 are D, M and V, all consonants, so none of them can appear in this sum.
Balliett in 1905 describes people of this number as critical and discerning, filled with unrest and ambition. That restless picture sits oddly beside the steady worker she draws on the same page. She does not tie either one to the vowels, so reading the unrest as a private want is a modern step.
Today's popular books take a Soul Urge of 4 as a wish for order, security and a job done properly. Cheasley in 1916 adds a sharper note, a dislike of social trivialities and difficulty with inspirational subjects. Taylor, on the other hand, mentions enjoyment of life in work or study.
