As a tip - I notice I can get it going "the other way" by focusing on the foot for 5-10 seconds - something about that seems to make it 'switch' for me and start going the other way. Might work for you as well

It was clockwise at first for me, but after focussing on the legs (not the foot for me but when when one leg crosses the other), all of a sudden it was going the other way!

Counter clockwise for me.

No, no, there it goes. I see the aim is to NOT stare at her boobies.

Haha, everytimeI look at her shadow she changes direction, at least depending on the timing on when her leg is moving right or left, pretty clever...

It's like her shadow contradicts the direction each time...
