I received this as a private email, and I don't believe it went to the list.
You probably meant to post it publically though, so just thought I'd point it
out...

No.  Venus and Neptune are the only relevant planets, and Venus's north
pole points toward celestian (i.e. Earth) south and vice versa.
Neptune has an inclination of 98 degrees, so its north pole points to
the sun for half its year, and away from it for the other half.
