Virtually everything in our solar system rotates or orbits counter-clockwise (CCW), as seen from a location high above the North Pole. The Sun spins CCW, all the planets orbit CCW, 6 of the 8 planets spin CCW (Venus hardly spins at all, and Uranus' spin is parallel to the ecliptic).

The Moon, like everything else, orbits CCW and spins, one spin per orbit, CCW.

Do the phases of the moon go counterclockwise or clockwise?

The phases of the moon appear to move counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This movement is a result of the moon's orbit around the Earth, which is also counterclockwise. However, from the perspective of an observer in the Southern Hemisphere, the phases may appear to move clockwise. Overall, the general perception of moon phases depends on the observer's location on Earth.
