In any one orbital there is only one way to arrange the two electrons and that is with opposite spin. (Paulis exlusion principle)

In the 3 different p orbitals you could arrange 2 electrons without spin pairing in the same orbital in 3 ways,

The middle two are the same.

The same applies to d orbitals
