Is that moss or spagnum moss?
The Junipers do not like wet feet.
Moss keeps the soil moist longer, and spagnum moss I just do not trust.
If you look at the Juniper care instructions carefully, you will see that they love sun.
Depending on where you live, place it in full sun. In South Africa I have to keep mine in Morning sun only, it just gets too hot.

It appears that you could be overwatering it. Remove the saucer beneath the pot. The container must drain completely and unhindered. Secondly, it appears chlorotic or yellow. Perhaps it's the light... Regardless, I would use an all purpose plant food like Miracle Grow and then move to a slow release organic fertilizer. If your juniper is indeed yellowing it probably needs iron.
I would also check the PH of the soil to ensure it's around 6 - 6.5 PH. This range is best for nutrient absorption.

Besides the plant having to move outdoors in a sunny position (But first keep the plant in a shaded position to let it get used to having light around again or face sunburn!), the soil seems to be coars pebbles, which are not suitable at all.

I am no expert but I think the plate underneath with the pebbles should definitely go. The pot should be able to drain unhindered. Also the moss around the bark seems to be suffocating the plant. As for the pebbles on the surface, if they are just a small, upper layer for decoration, then maybe it's ok. All in all, all these 'obstacles' hide your tree which by itself is beautiful enough. As for the yellowish of the color of the tree, I think that's just the photo that shows it like that. And yes, I think also it should be better placed outside, I have noticed the huge difference on my juniper since I have placed her outside.
