Viewed from above the north pole, anticlockwise is the direction of spin.

it travels west to east
THE CONSTELLATIONS DON'T MOVE. THE EARTH DOES AND THAT IS WHY WE HUMANS THINK IT'S MOVING WHEN THEY ARE NOT.

because the earth moves(:
it depends where on the earth you are standing
The earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing day and night. It also orbits around the sun counterclockwise in an elliptical path.
In order to move from Antarctica to Africa -- or to any other continent on earth -- your direction is north.
In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents generally move in a clockwise direction, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they move in an anti-clockwise direction. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation and influences the direction of moving objects.
Coriolis force
The spectral lines move towards one direction, or towards the other direction, depending on the relative speed.
In this context, the sky doesn't move, but the earth rotates creating the illusion that the sky moves (unless you mean clouds which is a different issue altogether.). The sky appears to move from east to west.
