True neutral pelvis is when the ASIS and the top of the pubic symphysis are in the frontal plane. Some people judge by the ASIS/PSIS in the horizontal plane, because they can palpate both without getting too intimate ... but there's a great deal of anatomical variation, and that line actually doesn't tell anyone anything. Other people just look at the amount of lumbar lordosis, which there are both anatomical and mechanical factors at work there.
Easy way to judge is with a clipboard or cutting board. Mash it into the front of your pelvis so it's touching all three bony points and eyeball it from the side in a full-length mirror.
