A blue moon is the second full moon in any month that has 2 full moons.
The last blue moon was in June this year. The next one will be about 2 years after the last, + or - a few months.

The term blue moon has at least four related meanings. One is a common metaphorical phrase for a rare event. Full moons are given names in folklore, and two definitions of blue moon are a name for a rare full moon that does not have a folk name. One modern blue moon definition is a result of a misinterpretation of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, where a second full moon occurs in a calendar month. The older definition of blue moon is for an extra full moon that occurs in a quarter of the year, which would normally have three full moons, but sometimes has four. Oddly, it is the third full moon in a season that has four which is counted as the "extra" full moon and named blue moon. According to certain folklore, it is said that when there is a blue moon, the moon has a face and talks to the items in its moonlight.

In a single calendar month, if two full moons occur ,then the second full moon is called a blue moon.This is likely to occur if the first full moon occurs on first day or the second day of the month,and the other full moon occuring at the end of the same month.
But the occurance is not regular.In a span of 19 years,at least 8 months will have two full moons.Out of these, two months having a blue moon each will occur in a single year.The next occurance will be on 31 st,December,2009

Originally, it was the (rare) fourth full moon in a season, but because of a typo in Sky and Telescope in answer to this question it has now become the second full moon in a month.

Its the 2Nd full moon of the month and is really, well, rare
that's why people says "Once in a blue moon"

the second blue moon in a month. This only happens once a year hence the expression, "Once in a blue moon."
