The Moon in a Geocentric Model

Thanks to all who helped me with my first question about how a geocentric system would work!

I'm not sure how the moon works in a geocentric model. (This would be a roughly Earth-similar world, though the hours, months, year don't have to be exact but approximate.) I'm debating between using a typical space-based moon (though I'm fine playing the dimensions) and something more myth-based. I've considered obfuscating the idea that the moon (and/or sun??) are god/goddess-based like Phaeton or something (essentially a no-moon system). If you've ever read Patrick Rothfuss' Name of the Wind or NK Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy, they also obfuscate interesting dynamics about their moon. (If anyone has any bright ideas on this, I'm open.)

I would like to roughly follow what seems like classic Newtonian gravity and physics. I like my books to suspend disbelief on a few major concepts, but the rest mostly adhere to reality. I don't want any readers wondering if I was too lazy to consider the consequences of the changes I made. (Time Turners etc.)

Thank you for any help!

I already read this: Emulating a geocentric planetary system

But I couldn't extrapolate much further.
