out of curiosity I just looked up the conventions for how we label the poles in venus
interestingly, they match up the same orientation as earth even though they rotate in opposite directions relative to their solar orbits. Our north and their north point towards Polaris (www.windows2universe.org/venus/venus_polar_regions.html) So in Venus they'd use the left hand rule to determine "north", which shows how arbitrary these terms are.
