I would have to dig out my BBB (it's at home), but it's something on the
line of you can't cast Physical spells on the Astral if you're projecting.
You can if you are perceiving, though (and target Astral beings).
(Or maybe I'm just extending the rule on manipulations... I haven't read my
BBB cover-to-cover in too long a time).

The ruling is that your astral body can get into anything you could squeeze
your body into, provided you wouldn't have to shift _anything alive_ to get
your body in. Given that you can reorient your astral self a bit better then
your meat body, this gives you a bit more flexibility, but not much.
Oh, and your astral body is not your aura...
