Solar eclipses don't happen every month because the Moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted. This means that most of the time, when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, it passes above or below the Sun instead of directly in front of it. Eclipses only occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are perfectly aligned, which doesn't happen very often.
