No, your aura *always* reveals your true form. The only exception here is
that of Aura Masking. Your astral form will appear as your idealic self,
but will still reveal your true form unless you are capable of Masking
your aura. Your astral form and your aura are not exactly the same.
They're close, even related, but they are not the same. Assensing one's
aura or astral form will always reveal one's true form, with the only
exception being when someone is masking said aura.
It's not explicitly stated, but that's what I'm getting from the book.

The physad can mask his aura so long as he is initiated. That much is in
Awakenings. All initiates get access to Masking.
