Venus As well as Venus, Uranus is generally said to be rotating clockwise as well. But it is also tilted, so it can be said to be rotating either clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on whether one thinks it is inclined 82° in one direction, or 98° in the opposite direction !

Venus always is considered to rotate clockwise. Uranus is also considered to to rotate clockwise by some, but it's extreme axial tilt leads to different interpretations as to which pole is considered North, so some say that it rotates counter-clockwise.

It depends on which way you look at it, there is no real up and down in space. If you look from the north position through to the south, then the planets orbit anticlockwise (counterclockwise) - the usual model of the solarsystem is oriented this way.

Both Venus and Uranus have a retrograde axial spin, they rotate clockwise when viewed from above their north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).

Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto all spin in a clockwise direction as seen looking down on their north poles. The other planets rotate in a counterclockwise direction.
