The discovery that the Sun travels through space should have accompanied the visual affirmation of external galaxies implying that our solar system also is part of a galactic structure.
Another implication is that the energy moving the Sun in an organised path around the galactic centre would also affect the orbital motion of the planets as they run part of their circuits in the direction of planetary orbital motion and part of the
orbit travelling in the opposite direction.
The axiom that planets run faster the closer to the Sun they are comes into play here. As the Earth moves in the direction of our solar system's galactic orbital motion it moves faster at perihelion and slower at aphelion.
Orbital motion is not there to affirm late 17th-century geometric treatments, it is there to be advanced with more expansive observational data and more perceptive abilities.
