Why Doesn't the Moon Eclipse the Sun Every Orbit (Once a month)

In this animation we are out in space looking into the celestial mechanics of the moon and earth, and what has to happen for the sun to be blocked out. And more importantly, why eclipses are so rare if the moon gets between the earth and sun once a month! Hope you enjoy
