Solar eclipses don't occur monthly because the moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. This tilt means that the moon often passes above or below the sun when it is new, preventing an eclipse. An eclipse only happens when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned in a straight line, which doesn't occur every month.
