Welcome to the site!

If you just repotted and pruned, right now you want to give that tree a long rest so that it will recover before you do any more work to it. You will want to wait until that juniper is bursting out in growth all over and looks very shaggy.

The first thing to learn with bonsai is how to keep a tree alive :) So while you let this one rest, you need to go buy two or three more so you don't kill your one tree with kindness - by doing too much to it too quickly.

Wait and style in fall. Buying more trees is a good option. Look for something with a trunk and / or taper and / or movement. Ulmus (elm) might be a good starter.
