So the sun and moon have to revolve around it. Btw, the sun in this world is not a star, it's a conscious deity, which is just really bright. | |

The problems with geocentric came when people tried to figure how other planets orbit Earth when they quite simply do not. So you just simulate planet orbiting a star and say "the sun orbits the planet" and your done. | |
