Which way does a Planet Venus spin?

It spins the opposite way than that of Earth. It is unknown why this is. A few theories have been Venus colliding with a massive body such as a planet or a moon, and possibly just coming close enough into contact with another planet or moon that the gravity actually shifted the spin on its axis.
