Mass-energy tells spacetime how to curve and curved spacetime tells mass-energy how move.
There is a circularity, but this is true of motion in Newtonian physics, where mass creates a gravitational field and the gravitational field tells mass how to move.
A full self-consistent solution closes the circle.
