If you’re exploring your Human Design channels, journal prompts are a great way to embody and integrate these energies. In this post I continue to add my ever expanding journal prompts for the Human Design channels & gates based upon the Human Design transits.
I send out a weekly Human Design forecast, digging deep into what defined centers and channels and coming up for us to experience. You can get that straight into your inbox by joining here.
Human Design Journal Prompts for the Channels
You can use “ctrl+f” on this page to search for a particular channel/gate.
Channel of Openness – 22-12
Is this the correct time to share? Who can I inform that I need more time or graciousness in my experience right now? Can I create space to express myself non-verbally through art, dance, music, cooking and creation right now? Do I put pressure on myself to express when I’m not in the mood? How can I express myself in a way that supports my physical body’s need to process life experience? What am I trying to avoid feeling and how can I let it out in a way that feels good to me?
Channel of Community – 37-40
How can I be curious about my expectations of others in relationships? Are you holding up your end of the bargain? Are those around you holding up their end? Are there any connections in life that need some re-negotiation to continue to thrive?
Channel of the Money Line – 21-45
How can I seek maximum output for minimal effort? How can I support others and myself to be powerful and efficient leaders? Am I getting enough rest to thrive? What do I need to attract/release in order to rest?
Channel of abstraction 64-47

Channel of Mutation 3-60
How are my perceived limits supporting me in my next creation/step? What natural limitations am I allowing to stop me fully expressing myself and how can I move through this? How are my limitations supporting what is coming? How can I dance with the chaos of life? Where can I release the “how” of my goals? What am I resisting right now? Where do I need a little more acceptance and flow? How can I relax into the divine timing of my journey?
Where am I trying too hard to control the outcome? Where am I focusing too much on the restrictions that naturally occur in my life?

Channel of Emoting 39-55
Who do I feel I can authentically connect with on an emotional level? Who is willing to witness my life experiences and support me in my individual process? How am I not allowing my true emotional expression and thus limiting my ability to truly relate to others? How can I embrace the real and raw aspects of my emotional journey? How do I experience a natural impulse to move and connect? Who in my life supports me to be where I am at without the pressure to return to neutral? How can I best honour my moods? What can I do to honor my needs when I feel in a low mood without trying to alter it?
Channel of Acceptance 17-62
How does it feel to express the missing detail of something I’ve been working on? How can I be aware of but not fixated on a pattern in the collective that needs fixing? What details can I now see that can change the way I move through the world? Are the things I share supportive and in service? Do I allow recognition to guide my advice and solutions?

Can I follow my passion just a little more each day? What do I need to build to support the creation of my dreams?

Which battles truly matter to me? In which challenges do I find my vitality and strength? Or are there any fights that are futile/an unhealthy use of my energy?
Channel of awareness 61-24
How do I feel connected to the something larger than myself in life? How can I relax into not knowing the answers? Can I enjoy the great mysteries of life without the need to solve them? How can I align to what I already know is working for me?

Do I need to renegotiate with those who I support? Do I feel I give and receive equally? How is filling my own cup first the best thing I can do to support those closest to me? Am I holding on too tightly to what I already know? How could a new idea allow me to thrive? Are there any out of date values that are limiting our expansion?

Can I release the things that no longer excite me? How can I reframe my version of completion? Can I begin to recognize when my energetic input has come to an end? How is releasing the things I no longer enjoy, allowing myself to show up more fully where I want to be?
Human Design Journal Prompts for the Gates
Gate 51 – gate of shock
Where can I push the edges of my life? Where can I transform shock into strength? Where do I seek expansion right now? How are my actions an expression of my inner courage? Which experiences are supporting my evolution in life?
gate 42 – gate of growth
Am I responding to exciting opportunities right now? Has this experience given me all there is to learn? Am I responding to external pressure to begin or my authority? Where am I trying to control the outcome?
Gate 36 – crisis
Am I clear about the highs and lows of this opportunity? Am I prepared to be in the adventure? Can I release my grip on the outcome? How is the chaos of life teaching me everything I need to know? Is my life stimulating right now? What is something I would love to explore but haven’t made a priority?
gate 2 – gate of the direction of the self
What resources (time, money, people knowledge) do I have access to? Who can support me in creating a fulfilling life?
Human Design Journal Prompts for the Circuits
Individual Circuit
What do I have the energy for right now? Where can I create space to move spontaneously in my life? Where can I create space to allow the chaos to exist without having to control it? Where am I limiting my true self-expression? Am I worrying about how I will be received over honoring how good it feels to express myself in the moment? How is accepting this moment the most powerful thing I can do? How can I support myself to just be here? How can I share my new and potentially weird ideas without attaching to the outcome? Can sharing an idea be the reward itself? Where can I allow myself to show up as a more uninhibited version of myself?
Do I have the tendency to push myself into action to avoid feeling this absence? Do I tell myself that action is always the answer? Or, how can I support myself to be still and wait even if it feels uncomfortable?
Tribal circuit
Do my relationships feel fair and equitable right now? Do I need to negotiate any of my connections? Am I carrying a heavy burden in this relationship?
