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.
