What do you call it when something moves in circles in opposite directions? Like when you draw circles in the air with your fingers, one going clockwise, the other anticlockwise. But just a general word, not a finger-specific one.

I was thinking a concentric movement, but that doesn't seem to be right. Counter revolutionary?
