How can I fix my sprite being rotated 90 degrees more than toward the mouse?

I am trying to get a Sprite in LibGDX to look at the player's mouse. Here's the code I have (mind you, I am using JRuby):

target = mouse_position.sub(spatial.position)
rotation = MathUtils.atan2(target.y, target.x)
spatial.rotation = rotation * MathUtils.radiansToDegrees

This is definitely doing something, but it's not completely correct. Here's a GIF of what it looks like in action:

Where am I going wrong?
