Diane:
If you cut the leader, the center will probably branch out drom the cut,.
while you will have some fill in from this, the juniper will devinitly lose
its pencil thin shape. I would go for shearing the sides. You might
carefully shear the leader, if it has a few side branches ( that shearing
would stimulate further thicker growth) but I would not cut it off.
