I think the only one you didn't directly mention was family relations, but I think someone may have alluded to it.
"I particularly love how the Soul Number can be used to understand someone else, like a life partner or a business partner or a parent. In business, if you understand the Soul Number of your partner, you can understand what will motivate them and be the driving force behind all their actions because this number gives insight into the inner nature of the person you're dealing with, regardless of how they appear on the outside."
Professor Shackleton picked up her quill and made a note, explaining, "You all gave such great answers. House points for all four houses! Nice work." After finishing her recording, Macadrian turned her attention back to the lesson, "Let's talk about calculating the Soul Urge Number. Celandine already mentioned that we use the vowels in our names to find this number. So all I am going to add is some information about the letter "y." The 'y' is considered a vowel when it is the only vowel sound in the syllable, as in the examples 'Lynn' or 'Pyth-ag-or-as.' But the 'y' is considered a consonant when the 'y' is silent, as in the name 'Britney' where the 'e' produces the vowel sound."
"So, to recap, you add the vowels in each name separately, just like you did with all the letters in the Destiny Number, reduce each if necessary, then add them all together and again, reduce if necessary, unless it is a Master Number. Why don't you all calculate your Soul Numbers, then check the book for what it means. Then you can determine for yourself how well it resonates with your innermost desires. You don't have to share if you'd rather not, as this information can be some of the most private and intimate in Arithmancy."
Gryffindor will be proud. Those were the thought of Daniel as he wrote what the Professor was saying. He then grabbed his parchment and started to calculate for his Soul Number.

Daniel then checks the Soul Urge Numbers chapter.
Quote:
TWO (2): Above all else, you want harmony no matter what it takes. You can't tolerate conflict and thus, don't want to lead. You want peace and to be supportive. You are useful as a negotiator or arbitrator because you are sensitive to others and can make them feel good about themselves. You can speak the truth in a manner that causes one to feel supported instead of demoralized. In matters of the heart and friendship, giving is what you do best, sometimes too much so. Your appreciation of others can make you forget about yourself! Criticism can hurt you to the very core. Always happier paired than alone, you are the most devoted companion.
Daniel scratches his chin and then raised his hand,
"Professor, if this is 100% accurate, Now I know why I hate conflicts." he said smiling while looking at the textbook.
