    One of the axis on your machine is set up backwards.

    Yes, your machine is backwards.

    Stand at your machine so X+ moves to your right, and X- to your left. When you move in the Y+ direction, it should move away from you. I bet it's moving toward you.

    I've seen this many times, and in all cases the machine is moving in the wrong direction. Homing direction has nothing to do with being set up properly.
