In a word: No.

(Okay, that's four words, but I wanted to give a slightly longer answer.
Oops, it's getting too long now...)

*this reply has self imploded*

Actually, seriously, no you can't. Masking can be used to change your astral
signature, but not that much.

(OTH... there's a shapechange spell, but it's physical, and physical spells
don't work on the Astral. But a _mana_ based shapechange spell might, and a
shapechange could put you into the shape of a mouse, which could slip
though. I could dig out my grimoire and check, but I'm sure someone already
knows the answer)
