it spins in the same direction it always has, just upside down, so that looking at it from other planets makes the spin seem backward

Answer:

The reason why it rotates the opposite way is due to an asteroid collision forcing the planet to spin backwards and is also the reason why a day on Venus is longer then a year on Venus
