The Text primitive takes a 3rd argument that specifies how the text
should be positioned relative to the projected reference point. By
default text is positioned with the reference point at its center.
This moves the text clear of the point on the right side:
Graphics3D[{Point[{0, 0, 0}], Text["My Point", {0, 0, 0}, {-2, 0}]}]
A more complete description of this 3rd argument and its coordinate
system is found in the "More Information" section of the Text reference page.
