A horizontal sundial in the northern hemisphere has a gnomon that points north and the hour lines run clockwise. In the southern hemisphere, the horizontal dial's gnomon points south and the hour lines run counterclockwise. If you have an analemmatic sundial (horizontal but with a vertical human gnomon), then the date scale indicating where to stand is rotated 180 degrees when you change hemispheres - and the hour points progress clockwise in the north and counterclockwise in the south.
