Re: Uh oh, it's yellowing, what do I do?

That post of Peter's is a good reference.
I would not be overly concerned, I think your tree has just taken on its winter colour and the yellowing is it losing its 2-year-old needles.
If it were my tree, I'd get it into full sun, to start it growing strong.
If you would like to change the soil mix, take it out of the pot and check the roots. If they look like they did in your previous photo, white roots/tips then don't be too concerned.
I'd repot into a larger pot and replace half of the mix, leaving the other half intact. Then place in full sun to get it growing strong.
Remember that a juniper's strength is in the foliage, not the roots so you can take of a little more roots providing the tree is growing strong.
