I'm not sure how to explain directions in space since they are all relative to something else. This is about the best I can do. If you mean Pluto's rotation around the Sun it orbits in the same direction as the Earth which is also the same as the Sun's rotation on its axis. If you mean Pluto's rotation on its axis it's opposite the rotation of the Earth and Sun on their axes.
