Are you saying it isn't possible in a flat earth model? Because it is.

Lookup planetary retrograde motion.

Play Kerbal Space Program and place yourself in orbit around Kerbin and then fast forward the time while observing how the Mun moves in relation to the background stars.
Pretend that Kerbin is the Sun, your space craft is the Earth and the Mun is Mars and hopefully you will understand what causes retrograde motion.

Ptolemy already solved this, as all celestial objects orbit our planet they make little "loops" due to how fast they spin before returning to their normal orbital patterns. The only exception. To this is the sun of course, as it rarely if ever leaves it's divinely perfect circular orbit .

Mars is a man. It follows its Penis.

Ptolemaic motion cannot be used to predict the orbits of the planets.
