That's because it's not about causation but about correlation. Obviously the stars can not influence our individual lives, nevertheless I can not be equally sure there is no rhythm driving our personal histories and it can't correlate with that present in the geocentric model. Perhaps, if that's the case, a more relevant model could (or could not) be derived given modern understanding of astronomy but nobody bothers to invent it as long as the traditional model produces predictions sufficient to satisfy the overwhelming majority of the target audience.
