Abstract: We introduce a set of discrete modular transformations $T_{e}ll,U_{e}ll$ and $S_{e}ll$ in order to study the relationships between the different phases of the Heisenberg ladders obtained with all possible exchange coupling constants. For the 2 legged ladder we show that the $RVB$ phase is invariant under the $S_{e}ll$ transformation, while the Haldane phase is invariant under $U_{e}ll$. These two phases are related by $T_{e}ll$. Moreover there is a "mixed" phase, that is invariant under $T_{e}ll$, and which under $U_{e}ll$ becomes the RVB phase, while under $S_{e}ll$ becomes the Haldane phase. For odd ladders there exists only the $T_{e}ll$ transformation which, for strong coupling, maps the effective antiferromagnetic spin 1/2 chain into the spin 3/2 chain.
