Top-down character running animation based on character direction
I have a top-down character containing animations for running - running forwards, running backwards, strafe left and strafe right. I have all of the controls set up correctly based on joystick analog. I have set up a movement a 2d Freeform Cartesian blend tree that takes 2 inputs (InputX and InputZ, check the attached image). 
Basically, the different animations play independent of where the character is looking.
How do I play the respective animation based on the direction, the character is facing at any moment?
Here is the movement/animation/rotation code:
float x = joystick.Horizontal;
float z = joystick.Vertical;
//Movement
Vector3 move = new Vector3(x, 0f, z);
controller.Move(move* speed * Time.deltaTime);
//Animations
if(move != Vector3.zero)
{
anim.SetBool("isMoving", true);
anim.SetFloat("InputX", x);
anim.SetFloat("InputZ", z);
}
else
{
anim.SetBool("isMoving", false);
anim.SetFloat("InputX", 0);
anim.SetFloat("InputZ", 0);
}
//Rotation
if (move != Vector3.zero && !playerWeapon.isAiming)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(move), rotateSpeed* Time.deltaTime);
}
