Hard to say without knowing more about what you are doing. But I would start by getting the rocks off the surface. It is hard for the soil to dry out with the rocks there and hard for you to know whether it is dry or not. The little bit of soil showing looks like it might be dark/dense stuff like potting soil. If so, it will need to be repotted in to bonsai soil.
Tell us how/ how often/ how much you are watering. Is your tree outdoors or indoors (if indoors, buzzer sounds... wrong answer!). How much sun is it getting? The more you can tell us about what the conditions are, how you have been caring for it, what has been happening, the more likely some of the bonsai experts around here (not me!), will be able to give you some good help.

Vcaudill08,
Never water on a schedule, particularly when dealing with this type of soil. This thread contains information on watering and using the chopstick method to determine when to water.

As RBG mentioned, the (glued on?) topdressing is not doing you any favors. Neither is moving it about as you are. Junipers are very hardy and if it is OK outside during the day it will be OK at night as well.
Please update your profile with your general location.
