A blue-shift means an object is moving towards us, a red-shift means it is moving away from us. Blue-shift and red-shift are changes in frequency of the light we receive, due to the relative movement. This is called the Doppler effect.

Redshift and blueshift are indicators of motion. A redshift means that a star is moving away from us while a blueshift means it is moving toward us.
