It depends on the angle of the blades

Mine spins counter-clockwise.
Best thing to do it put the fan on high and see if you can feel
the breeze from the fan. If it feels like it's pulling air instead, reverse the motor which should be on the fan housing or on
the motor.
Some like it to "reverse" so that it pulls cooler air up and mixes the warmer air in the room for winter - I am like you, I want a breeze year-round.

Most fans made in the USA turn clockwise for down draft and counter clockwise for up draft. The up draft is for winter when it will move the warmer air that rises. It will push it up and out to the walls and then back down. This will prevent a cool breeze from blowing on you during the winter months.

Look at the blades of your ceiling fan. The fan needs to turn in the direction of the highest part of the blade (closest to the ceiling). On most, that should be clockwise, but this may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you try one and it doesn't seem to be blowing the air down, turn it off and switch the switch to make it turn in the opposite direction.

It depends on the fan (^^thats why two different answers)
cheap fans are built backwards for some reason. the part of the blade pointing down should be the way the fan spins. it is scooping the wind to make a breeze.

Counter-clockwise will give a breeze, and is for summer.
Cockwise usually does not give much of a breeze, and is for winter, to disperse warm air that has risen in the room downwards.

Clockwise should probably blow on you.
