Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.

Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".

All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.

All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.

So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.
