Can I prune Japanese Maple now ?

Hello friends, I'm a first time home owner since 2 years and I have a weeping version of Japanese maple in front of our house. I dont know when the previous home owners had pruned this bush. During the first summer it was all nice and bushy.. But during the second summer it did overgrow a little bit and I wanted to prune it in the fall but some how never got to it. Honestly I don't even know when is the correct time to prune this plant. Just I saw some videos advicing to prune it in mid/late summer. I was wondering if it harms the plant if I prune it now just before the spring officially starts. There are lot of tangling branches one over the other and Im sure its gonna look huge this summer if left unpruned. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can share on this question.
