Why aren’t solar eclipses much more common?

since the moon takes less than a month to revolve completely around the Earth, wouldn’t it make sense that at some point it is between the earth and sun somewhat frequently?

Also as a side note to what others have said:

Solar eclipses are probably more common than you think. But since they are only visible from a small part of the world when they happen, it just is pretty unlikely to have a solar eclipse that ALSO casts its shadow directly over you.
