Depends on how the blades are set in the fan. It could be either clockwise or counter clockwise. Test it to see what way the air goes up.

Clockwise in the summer, counter clockwise in winter. In the summer heat rises, so you run your fan clockwise to force hot air down to cool the room faster. Cold is drawn to heat, it is cooler at floor level. In winter it is warmer at floor level so you run your fan counter clockwise to draw hot air toward ceiling. But if you have central air and heat, with outlet grills in the ceiling this should be reversed. Heat and Cold will be coming from the grills in the ceiling. Then there is no need to run a fan at all if you have central air and heat. Air from the ceiling grills is drawn back to the unit. This is referred to as return air to unit, this keeps air circulating in each room.

its a very hard question to answer.
because the direction spinning depends upon the shape of your blades.
and because it depends upon the place from where you see it.
well. In a general case. when i am under the ceiling fan . Seeing from the centre of the fan to a blade. If the right side of the blade is up and the other side is slightly tilted towars you then the fan would spin anti clockwise to push air downwards.

It's counter-clockwise in the summer and clockwise in the winter.

In general you want the air to be drawn upwards from directly below the fan. If it makes you more comfortable to have the air going the other direction that is how it should be directed. I change the directions of my fans often depending where I am in the room and how it is more comfortable.

Clockwise, if you in Australia they go counterclockwise... like their toilets.

In the summer you want the air to go down to blow on you, creating an evaporative cooling on your skin. In the winter, if your fan blows upward, it circulates the air without creating as much of a draft.
Either direction, the air is circulated... the real reason is the way it blows on you.

depends on what angle you're looking from; if you're looking from the floor up, it moving counterclockwise...if you're standing atop the fan, it's spinning clockwise.
