Looking for advise. was created by John74

Looking to the professionals for advice. I'm a beginner at this and I've attempted my first bonsai. I've done plenty of online research and a lot of hours on YouTube. So now this is were I'm at in the picture. I started this project with green house stock and now I'm not entirely sure were to go next. Do I trim anymore? Should I repot it now or wait till it heals? Should I move any of the branches? Thanks for reading.

John, welcome to the forum.
First, try to keep it alive. I know it sounds stupid, but believe me, just keeping it alive is a great feat.
Second, junipers die indoors. It MUST be outdoors.
And it is a pretty young little tree, it needs some years to thicken the trunk and to become a nice full bonsai.
Patience.
