If you're standing at the foot of the machine, then the Y axis should be moving from left to right, correct?
If so, Y+ is to your left, and Y- to your right.
X+ is moving away from you, and X- towards you.
Generally, on a large machine like this, you stand on the side, where X+ is to the right, and Y+ moves away from you. This makes it much less confusing.
Now, where are you're home switches?
