We can't really hope to understand the vagaries of the physics of the material universe without trying to account for Newton's fourth law:

All mass is attracted equally to all matter in all directions.
I am not going to pretend to have read Pricipia but I did come across that (in one of his Schollia IIRC.) What it means is that all tidal attraction is occupied by all other tidal attractions. And if you carefully consider Cavendish then you will realise the exacting meanings of action and reaction.
