For what I remember from school, Venus is not pole flipped. She just spin counter clockwise (counter to any other planet in the solar system)

Some speculated, she's not counter clockwise but upside-down (compared to other planets)

Either speculation lead Einstein's good friend, Velikovsky, to write a complete book about how Venus came from Jupiter and had a near miss with Earth... Just based on worldwide religious belief and myths.

May be she's pole flipped after all.

It is not a pole flip that would make us like Venus. That would happen if the magnetosphere failed completely and then only in geological time.
