Can't be sure without seeing the tree in person, but...

1) Junipers lose foliage every year, usually in the interior of the tree (older foliage). The foliage turns yellow, then fall away. This is normal.

2) Junipers can lose foliage post collection in the same way, or if they are in too heavy a soil, which doesn't seem to be your issue assuming your soil is appropriate (fast draining, with some moisure retention). Is there any old soil left on the rootball?

3) Your tree doesn't look too bad in the pics. New growth is good, too.


I wouldn't worry too much. Don't over-water, and at the next repot, get the rest of the old soil off the roots, if any is left.
